An excellent course for getting a comprehensive knowledge about vital components of US (and global) healthcare system, challenges and opportunities through AI and HC data. Many thanks!

Good course to get the terminology under your belt. You will understand how the money flows, and how outcomes are measured. I got a ton of value from the class and recommend it highly.

This course is almost completely irrelevant to AI. A waste of time to learn it

While an introductory course, most if not all of the information provided is commonly found in newspapers and discussion forums on healthcare and AI. Nothing that informative or groundbreaking given the course had a cost.

I found this course so useful for me. If you're someone new to the industry or already working and want to make an impact with your business or technical skills this course will be the first step.

Even though I have been working in healthcare technology company for almost 10 years now, it covers a lot of stuff I didn't know before. The class is really interesting, and it empowers me to keep going. I would really recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn healthcare.

Very informative, detailed and clear. I learn some new things about billing and the hospital system. A good refresher course to tell where we are with AI and where we need to go for our patients.

great introduction into the intricacies of relationship between healthcare providers, payers, pharmaceutical companies, insurers, and the various payment plans and models in reimbursement of providers. Also great introduction to drug and medical device approval process and steps as related to clinical trials, and measurable outcomes.

I learned alot from this courses, especially about basic of health care. For examples how intermediary works, hospital policy, interprofessional, etc. The manuscript in each video help me a lot, because i'm not native speaker. Thanks to all people that contribute in making of this course.

Great overview of the healthcare system with very relevant examples of AI application across all the stakeholders (providers, payers, etc.) and many different use cases.

Fantastic AI in HealthCare course with broad topics about payment models, risk adjustments, ethnical considerations with AI models and much more. Excellent teachers!

Perfect Course. I have worked in Healthcare as an IT proffesinal for more than 15 years. This course restructures all the knowledge I gain in a readable manner.

While it doesnt go into a number of topics in depth, this is the most well structured and clear overview of US healthcare I have come across in 15 years

If you know little about the healthcare industry and how it works, then this survey course is for you. I am switching careers and I knew nothing about the healthcare industry other than from my own personal experiences. I am extremely happy I took this course. The ethics portion of the course was also informative and thought provoking. I did not give it five stars because I was hoping for more AI information. Also, the certificate you obtain has several disclaimers by Stanford at the bottom, which severely devalues it.

I recently completed this course as a part of AI in Healthcare Specialization program, and I must say that it was an excellent learning experience. The course provided a comprehensive overview of the healthcare industry and how AI can be leveraged to improve healthcare outcomes. The instructors were knowledgeable, and the course content was presented in an engaging and easy-to-follow manner.

The course covered various topics, including healthcare data, electronic health records, clinical decision support systems, and predictive analytics. The case studies and examples provided throughout the course were particularly helpful in illustrating the real-world applications of AI in healthcare.

Overall, I found the course to be well-structured and informative, and it has helped me gain a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the healthcare industry. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning about AI in healthcare. Kudos to the Stanford instructors and Coursera for creating such a great learning experience!

As I have entioned before, allow me to express my grateful thanks to all the members of Stanford Universiy Center for Health Education for the valuable information you have provided to me in the aera of Introduction to Healthcare found in the 5 Modules Contents and the 7 weeks of the wonderful Videos, readings and lecture Dr, Laurence Backer and Dr. Cho in their course lectures.

In spite English is my second language I was able to dvode more time with the replay of teh wonderful Videos I have found a very valuable help to learn this new technology tool applyed to the medical science which include the facilities to protect patients, providers, physicians, nurses and tecnitians. It is understood that ebing a human structure ihe healhcare must have a physiscal residence as it is hospitals and clinics a necessary tothe success the research centers for drugs and their laboratories for testing and commertializae them. Again, thanks. I do hope to go on the new courses for my AI Healthcare specialization.

Sincerely,

Great!

After arriving in Silicon Valley from Mongolia and running a healthcare startup, I quickly realized that I needed a deeper understanding of the U.S. healthcare system, clinical data, and AI. After extensive research, I found a course that covered all the topics I was looking for. This was my first class since graduating medical school that lasted more than five weeks, and I dedicated myself to it every day. I was truly fascinated by the advancements in technology I learned about. A huge thank you to the professors and Stanford University for providing such an inspiring learning experience!

This course gives a broad but detailed overview of how the healthcare system in the United States works, covering topics such as prescription drugs, models of payment, intermediaries, and providers. I found very useful the first modules to understand the challenges that the healthcare system is facing today, and how AI can help society improve care. The course covers the main ethical challenges that the implementation of AI models or solutions have.

The course does an amazing job of explaining so many technical concepts in very relatable and easy to understand ways. My confidence in my level of knowledge of the healthcare industry has increased meaningfully with this introductory course. I highly recommend it to everyone, even if to better understand how health plan products are structured and what the implications are of the different options.

Nicely done. Laurence Baker does a fine job of providing a thoughtful and comprehensive overview of the healthcare industry all the while acknowledging the areas that would be "interesting to dive deeper into" but that are outside of the scope of this course. This way one is provided with all the important elements and has the chance to independently explore some of these further.

"Introduction to Healthcare" is an insightful course that provides a comprehensive overview of the healthcare industry. The course effectively covers key topics such as healthcare systems, medical terminology, and the roles of various healthcare professionals. The content is well-structured, making it accessible for learners at different levels of familiarity with the subject.

Excellent overview of the US Healthcare systems with an emphasis on practical and ethical considerations of health activities and the data they generate. I'm a practicing pediatrician and there was much in this course that I did not know. Kudos to the lecturers for keeping the right tone and level of content for an introductory course. Highly recommended!

Overall the presenter was excellent - clear, concise, easy to listen to - and the course was organized well in terms of topics.

I would have liked more detailed weekly study guides. They didn't provide a level of detail necessary to answer the exam questions.

Some of the exam questions are unclear, and I believe 1-2 are mistakenly scored.

Excellent course, particularly for non-medical professionals working in and researching related fields. Provides a thorough overview of the healthcare system, its components, members, and roles. Solid information on ethical issues surrounding healthcare and artificial intelligence.

A very good introduction to the health care system, mainly access i=on US but applicable in many places. The lecturers know their topic very very well. A great course if as me you know nothing about the mechanisms of payment and how health care is provided in a country.
