Advance Your Knowledge. Develop Your Team. Create the Future of Health Care.
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: The Insider's Guide to Health Care covers foundational topics of the U.S. health care system in a global context to empower professionals and organizations to meet their career and market goals. Through a series of engaging, online courses designed for professional learners, you or your team will gain a comprehensive understanding of the patient's place within the broader health care system directly from Harvard Medical School faculty and industry experts.
