WHAT IS YOUR TEACHING STYLE?

My teaching style is a very pragmatic one. I assume you know nothing about this topic and start with the foundation and build from there. Some of these concepts could be challenging, so I sprinkle in as many examples as I can, both non healthcare and healthcare, to assure full understanding of the topic. This is why I have appended "Plain and Simple" to all my courses.

Honestly, this course is kind of meh. It might be good as part of a specialization, but as a stand alone course, this isn't what I had expected. It's a very high level overview of the subject, not much detail.

Absolutely. This course is essential for my role as a Patient's Rights Advocate safeguarding the rights to privacy and confidentiality for patient medical records. EHR Basics, Plain and Simple can be considered as a foundational course in understanding the evolution of the EHR system, recognizing the gaps in policy to safeguard consumer privacy and confidentiality, and acquire essential and effective professional insights for investigating privacy breach complaints.
