Smith Location: Marriott Allied Health Building, Rm 203 Telephone Contact: Pat Cantera 626-7242 Professors: Reed M. Stringham, Jr.; Assistant Professors: Chris Elliott, RRA, Robert Parker, Jr., Phil M. Smith; Instructor: Pat Shaw, RRA Adjunct Faculty: Kenneth Bradshaw, J.D.; David Call, MBA; Susan Tanner, MPA; Wayne Lindeman, MBA; Reed Stringham, III, J.D. The Health Administrative Services Program (HAS) provides an opportunity for health practitioners, students in the health disciplines, and others to prepare themselves for managerial, teaching, and health promotion roles in both traditional and nontraditional health care settings. In addition, many students use the program to prepare themselves for graduate studies in Health Administration and other related disciplines. The program is uniquely structured to help practicing health professionals build upon their two-year professional degree or credential while GEN ED k CORE COURSES at the same time accommodating the more traditional four-year student. The curriculum is organized so that students may tailor their studies in any one of six emphases: Health Services Administration, Health Services Instructional Development, Health Information Management (HIM), Health Promotion, Long-Term Care Administration, Medical Record Technology (MRT). All study emphases lead to a Bachelors Degree in Health Sciences except for MRT, which offers an Associate of Applied Science degree. The HAS program was developed to better prepare health practitioners and others to take advantage of the challenges and opportunities facing them as members of the nation's health care team. Health Administrative Services BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN HEALTH SCIENCES DEGREE (B.S.) Study Emphases: • Health Services Administration: Designed to provide health care practitioners and others with the skills and competencies to function as supervisors and managers in health care settings. In the changing health care environment new and challenging demands are placed on health care personnel to expand their conventional roles to include increased administrative responsibilities. The HSA curriculum provides a working foundation in management and interpersonal skills, while at the same time introducing the student to the health care delivery system and its many and varied issues and challenges. Graduates are not only better prepared to assume increased management responsibilities, but to do so with a better understanding of the complex system in which they work. • Health Services Instructional Development: Prepares healthcare workers who either currently function in teaching roles or want to prepare themselves for this type of assignment. The students are provided with basic skills of instruction and instructional design and evaluation. At the same time the student is familiarized with the delivery of health care in the United States including many of the issues and challenges with which the system is currently dealing. Health Promotion: The major purpose of the health promotion program is to professionally prepare students for employment in programs that promote health and prevent disease. Coursework emphasizes the development of skills required of the entry-level health educator: assessing needs, planning effective programs, implementing programs, evaluating effectiveness of programs, coordinating services, acting as a resource person, and communicating needs and concerns. Successful program completion may lead to employment in the community (health agencies, public health departments, community action projects), health care system (hospitals, clinics, student health clinics, long-term care, rehabilitation) or in the work place (business, industry, consulting). Health Information Management: This profession focuses on health care data and the management of health care information resources. The profession addresses the nature and structure of health data and the translation of that data into usable forms of information which support the health care of individuals and populations. HIM professionals collect, integrate, and analyze primary and secondary collections of data and manage information resources related to the research, planning, provision, and evaluation of health care services. This emphasis provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become self-directed learners who possess critical-thinking skills and problem-solving abilities, communication and interpersonal skills, a commitment to life-long learning, and important ethical values.
