Business Knowledge Series course
Presented by Mark Dalesandro, independent consultant, based on materials developed by Craig Dickstein, co-author of Administrative Healthcare Data: A Guide to Its Origin, Content, and Application Using SAS
This industry-specific course focuses on the origin, management, and use of administrative healthcare data. Students will become acquainted with the providers, payers, and users of the U.S. healthcare system. This course is not a hands-on programming course, but rather, it explores the business of medical claims data. As a supplement to this course, programmers should consider also registering for Administrative Healthcare Data and SAS: Hands-On Programming Workshop, a one-day course that focuses on programming methods and techniques that are useful in the healthcare industry. The two courses are offered on contiguous days.
