What this is
Manage the operations of a clinical service line: staffing, scheduling, throughput, quality, compliance and finance. The course is organized into 6 modules — the healthcare operating environment, staffing and scheduling, patient flow and throughput, quality and safety, compliance and documentation and finance for the service line — with 18 lessons in total, so you build the skill in a sensible order and can return to any part when you need it.
It is not clinical training and does not provide or prepare you for any healthcare license or credential. It covers operational management of a service line; clinical decisions and regulatory compliance remain with qualified professionals and your organization.
