Online Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Data Analytics: Designed for healthcare professionals who want to use data to improve patient care and business results, the program helps students analyze ethical, legal, and strategic issues involving healthcare data, including HIPAA and data governance; use predictive analytics to support forecasting, risk assessment, and resource allocation; and review data quality and structure to identify problems and solutions.
