GenAI for Patient Care Coordinators and Case Management
According to a study revealed by the University of Illinois College of Medicine, over 33% of a healthcare coordinator’s time is swallowed by paperwork, and for every 4 hours spent on direct patient care, an extra 5 hours vanish on administrative duties. Shockingly, nearly 25% of patients delay or forgo medical care because of these administrative hurdles. By addressing these time-consuming challenges, this course aims to provide a solution that can streamline administrative tasks and improve patient care management. This practical course is tailored for healthcare administrators, patient care coordinators, medical case managers, and IT professionals. You’ll discover how to harness the power of AI to automate administrative tasks, allowing you to spend more time focusing on patient care. By learning to use tools like ChatGPT, no-code AI workflows, and AI-driven case management solutions, you’ll be able to enhance efficiency, reduce burnout, and improve patient outcomes—all without needing coding skills. This course is designed for healthcare professionals who play key roles in managing patient care and healthcare operations. Whether you're a Healthcare Administrator, Patient Care Coordinator, Medical Case Manager, Clinic Manager, or Healthcare IT Professional, this course will equip you with essential skills to apply Generative AI in real-world clinical and administrative scenarios. The curriculum focuses on improving care delivery, streamlining administrative workflows, and enhancing the patient experience using cutting-edge AI tools. Participants should have a foundational understanding of healthcare operations, particularly in areas such as patient coordination and administrative processes. Familiarity with Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and Hospital Information Systems is essential, along with basic computer literacy, including data entry, report interpretation, and the use of scheduling software. No prior knowledge of advanced technical or programming concepts is required, making this course accessible to non-technical healthcare professionals. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to integrate Generative AI into their daily workflows. They will learn to use GenAI tools like ChatGPT for creating patient documentation, handling FAQs, and optimizing healthcare operations. They will also explore how to deploy Custom GPTs for automating specific tasks in care coordination and case management. Additionally, learners will implement AI-based scheduling solutions to reduce administrative burdens and improve operational efficiency. Finally, they will develop a comprehensive AI implementation roadmap that covers tool selection, integration strategies, staff training, and change management in a healthcare environment.

To view the trailer, please copy and paste the link into your browser. https://vimeo.com/423035246/6b3c18c4c5 This is a course designed to tap into your creativity and is based in "Active Learning". Most of the actual learning takes place within your own activities - that is, writing! You will learn by doing. "Thank you so much for your direct way of teaching this course. It was encouraging for us all to creatively flow and find our own voice in writing and developing our scripts. This aspect was very important to me." Ingrid The course curriculum is simple: you’ll write, revise your work, and share feedback with your peers. I am a proponent of Experiential Learning (active learning). My lectures are short (sometimes just two minutes long) and to the point, designed in a step-by-step process essential to your success as a script writer. I will guide you but I won’t "show" you how to write. I firmly believe that the only way to become a writer is to write, write, write. “David's lecture style for this course is inspired. The videos are succinct and engaging. When I watch the lectures I feel David’s sincere desire for me to create something truly amazing. He is teaching us how to write a script, and he is providing wisdom and tools that will help us do so in a compelling way - by writing; not by watching him talk at us.” - A R Adamson What you’ll need to get started: To begin with, any basic word processor will do. During week two, you can choose to download some free scriptwriting software such as Celtx or Trelby or you may choose to purchase Final Draft, or you can continue to use your word processor and do your own script formatting. Learner Review: "I am in love with this course. Having never written a script before, or any substantive fiction since college (15 years ago) I had a small idea in my head that has now exploded into something I really believe in. David's guidance is spot on, he's his own compelling story teller, he gives you enough, and then you have to figure it out, make it happen, WRITE! WRITE! WRITE!
