| HIMSS Approved Education Partners |
For this week’s installment of the HIMSS Approved Education Partner participant introductions we learn more about the programs offered by Kepner-Tregoe and Roberts Wesleyan College.
Kepner-Tregoe
Kepner-Tregoe believes that the most effective healthcare organizations know how to solve problems. For over 5 decades, KT has empowered individuals and teams to triage, stabilize and find the cause of your toughest operational and IT issues. IT departments use KT for more effective Problem, Incident, and Change Management which reduces downtime, issue recurrence and cost of service. Administrators use KT to improve hospital operations and processes through more effective decision making, risk management and proactive action.

Roberts Wesleyan College
The college's Masters in Healthcare Informatics Administration is offered exclusively online with completion in 18 months. The degree blends the leadership skills of our Health Administration degree with a focus on Informatics. Students address many of the complex issues raised by Healthcare Reform, Electronic Medical Records (EMR), privacy laws, and the electronic exchange of medical information. The degree equips students to bridge the communication gap between clinical, non-clinical and IT healthcare professionals, and does not require a technical background to begin.

Unlocking the Hidden Power of Communications Analytics
Communication is the singular thread that ties a health system together, yet analytical evaluation of communication processes are usually underrepresented in managing operations and process improvement. Join the HIMSS Clinical & Business Community on Apr. 27 as Andrew Mellin, MD, MBA, CMO, Spok and other speakers demonstrate the clinical and economic value of communication in health systems and identify opportunities and challenges to instrument and measure the communication processes.
