High Tech and High Reliability

Course Description

Why are U.S. healthcare costs rising without a corresponding increase in quality? Why do so many strategies fail to manage cost and quality?

This new ACPE course addresses why information systems and standardization are key to creating positive acceptable improvements in care, how it can benefit care providers and patients simultaneously, what the cultural barriers have been to acceptance of these changes, and elements of the problems faced to the solutions needed in the context of informatics tools.
