Abstract
The healthcare industry is in an unprecedented state of transformation. Technology infiltration in numerous areas of health care delivery is a major catalyst for such transformation. The growing volume and complexity of health information has prompted an appeal for a new breed of health care professionals. The dilemma, however, is how to educate the healthcare workforce to take advantage of relevant and integrated patient information in their daily practices and workflow. This study suggests online certificates with distinct, but specific coursework for clinical and non-clinical workers. The objective is to keep up with rapid changes in technology, treatment modalities, and policy and standards while expediting and ensuring skills needed for quality, safe, and cost effective delivery of healthcare.
