SAN DIEGO , March 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In September 2021, Alliant International University announced a new partnership with Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), effectively strengthening the California School of Management & Leadership (CSML) Master's in Healthcare Analytics (MSHA) degree program.

Now, in 2022, the two have partnered to launch a new Intermediate Healthcare Data Analytics course, offering knowledge and skills to improve healthcare through innovative and essential techniques that enable the delivery of efficient and quality healthcare analytics.

"Partnering with HIMSS brings a new caliber of courses to give the future leaders of the healthcare analytics profession the skills needed to succeed."

Why analytics is the fundamental tool and enterprise engine for successful healthcare delivery transformation to better quality, lower cost, and improved customer satisfaction

How analytics is used in supporting healthcare outcome improvement through patient profiling and population health management (risk stratification, gap analysis, impact estimate, and prediction)
How analytics is used in supporting healthcare fraud, waste, and abuse reduction to improve operational efficiency
How to build, grow and develop a robust analytical capacity towards a mature analytical organization to support insight-driven operation

This course is led by Dr. Frank Song, CSML's Adjunct Professor and Data and Analytics Director for the Central California Alliance for Health, will provide participants with powerful skills to enhance their careers and open every door of opportunity.
