Health Core I and II

Health Core I and II

The transformation of New York State’s healthcare system to care coordination and care management delivery models requires new core skills and competencies across many frontline healthcare workers, including care coordinators, care managers, patient navigators, community health workers, health educators, medical assistants, patient care technicians/associates, nurses, and home care workers. While many of the specific job responsibilities and titles of these roles vary across institution, setting, and patient population, there is a large consensus in the field and a growing body of literature to support that healthcare workers practicing in these models have overlapping functions and should have a core set of skills and competencies. This course develops a strong foundation of the core competencies for today’s healthcare workforce.
