Southern Illinois University Carbondale is offering an online course focused on healthcare risk management and patient safety, developed for healthcare professionals or people interested in the healthcare field.

Areas that will be covered in the program include:

  • Organization healthcare risk management principles
  • Financial implications surrounding healthcare risk management
  • Understanding claims process and management
  • National regulations and statutes
  • Organization safety principles
  • Correlations between patient safety and healthcare risk management
