Electronic Health Record Analytics

Our EHR Analytics courses are designed to equip learners with the hands-on knowledge and analytical skills needed to work confidently with Electronic Health Record systems in real-world healthcare environments. Whether you're just beginning your journey or ready to dive into deeper functionality and data-driven decision-making, we offer two course options tailored to your experience level:

EHR Analytics: Basics

Who it's for:
Newcomers to healthcare technology, students, or professionals with little to no prior EHR experience.

What you’ll learn:
This introductory course offers a comprehensive foundation in clinical informatics and the structure of healthcare data. Students gain hands-on experience in eClinicalWorks (eCW), exploring how patient information is entered, organized, and accessed across clinical settings. Topics include:

• Navigating EHR platforms

• Patient registration and scheduling

• Documentation workflows and clinical encounters

• Data standards, terminology, and federal health IT policy

• Foundational use of analytics tools for tracking and reporting

By the end of the course, students will understand the key components of EHR systems, the basics of data management in healthcare, and how clinical information supports patient care and operational efficiency.

EHR Analytics: Advanced

Who it's for:
Learners who have completed the Basics course or professionals with working knowledge of EHR platforms and health data systems.

What you’ll learn:
The advanced course dives deeper into EHR capabilities, clinical decision support tools, and the analytical power behind electronic records. Participants continue their hands-on training with eCW, advancing into areas such as:

• Advanced clinical documentation workflows

• Order sets, progress notes, immunization records, and referrals

• Health data analytics and reporting dashboards

• Telehealth tools and patient portal integrations

• Practice management insights, safety compliance, and custom template development

Outcomes:
Students will be able to analyze and optimize EHR workflows, interpret analytics for practice improvement, and prepare for roles involving health IT strategy, quality assurance, and data governance.

Both tracks are taught by experienced clinical informatics faculty and supported by guest instructors from healthcare systems and health information exchanges. All coursework is virtual, hands-on, and career-aligned, preparing learners for opportunities in public health, care coordination, data analysis, and more.

Whether you're just getting started or ready to lead digital transformation in healthcare, our EHR Analytics courses will give you the tools and confidence to succeed.
