I truly appreciate this course as it has provided an excellent introduction to understanding IT components in healthcare. The clear explanations and the inclusion of workflow diagrams, especially for Revenue Cycle Management, are significant strengths of this course.

The language he uses is not very well understood. The examples are very basic and there is no material to do the exercises.

Very knowledgeable instructor. He is not reading from any book. Some slides took more time as he was not ready with the diagram. But Harish has put his heart and soul into this course. Thanks, Harish

The instructor took a very methodical and measured approach to all the various topic areas which was very beneficial to my situation. The presenter is very knowledgable about the subject and included some very current content related to ChatGPT.

I left this rating due to a lack of understanding with the insurance information. I feel it should be a bit more detailed.
