We Bring Clarity to Health Care, So You Can Drive Change
Health care organizations face increasing pressure to deliver high-quality, cost-effective care. A critical component of success is understanding and addressing patient needs. Traditional training in the health care industry often overlooks the patient perspective and professionals aren’t armed with the knowledge of the health care landscape with a focus on understanding on the patient experience.
HealthXcelerate is a series of engaging, online courses from Harvard Medical School covering the foundational topics of the U.S. health care system in a global context. Designed for professional learners, you or your team will gain a comprehensive understanding of the patient's place within the broader health care system and be better positioned to meet career and organizational goals.

Navigating Today’s Health Care Landscape
HealthXcelerate courses are designed and delivered by Harvard Medical School faculty with industry experts. You will gain nuanced insider knowledge, and the confidence to “speak the language” of health care.
With a focus on the patient experience, the HealthXcelerate courses explore how the U.S. system compares with those of other countries, how clinical care connects to the broader health care industry, and how patients navigate and influence the system. Now more than ever, health care professionals need to build fluency and credibility in communicating key issues, critically assess barriers to quality and access, and identify opportunities for leadership and innovation.
