Data Literacy and Analytics in Healthcare

1 Unit · Graduate

Students will learn about current and future data trends, relational databases, healthcare data standards, and the basics of utilizing SQL for data and analytics. Becoming familiar with the fundamentals of relational databases and SQL, the most popular language used to query data from relational databases, is an essential part of this class. Students will leave this course with a strong understanding of standard healthcare terminologies (i.e., RxNorm, SNOMED), relational databases, and how to retrieve, analyze, and aggregate relational data for analytics purposes using SQL. Concepts learned in this class can be used to store, prepare, and analyze large data sets using SQL.
