Informative and clear explanation of terms used in Quality Improvement in healthcare settings.

By Shellie Holloway on 2/15/2026

Taking the Healthcare Quality Assurance and Management course was a great fit for my role as a Quality Assurance Coordinator with a DDA agency. I work with family model providers in our Choices program, and the course gave me practical tools to monitor quality, improve patient safety, and support staff compliance. I learned how to use data-driven approaches, implement CQI strategies like PDSA cycles, and strengthen risk management and regulatory compliance. The case studies and practical exercises helped me connect theory to real-world challenges in our agency, improving both oversight and support for our providers. Overall, this course enhanced my ability to lead quality initiatives and ensure safe, effective care for the people we serve.

By Derek E. Martin on 12/1/2025

Overall, very informative and valuable content; enough to get one started in the right direction in Health Care Management. The only issue I encountered; an issue that in reality is not one, but one I first thought was an issue, is the "Study Material" section at the end of each module... there is not audio, which at first led me to believe there was an audio issue with the module. However, it appears to be a presentation similar to that of a silent video "power point" meant for ready only. Other than that, the content was full and informative.

very informative and useful on ground level to improve quality and safety of patient and avaid medication errors

I was a chief operations officer (COO) at rehabilitation facility for adult. So, this course will definitely help me to perform my duties effectively.

By Brittany Fisher on 3/25/2025

This course has a lot of information that is essential for my career growth and educational success. I am really enjoying it so far.

By Sharon Nowak on 2/24/2025

Enjoyed this course and provided the information I needed to get started to venture out into the health care industry for project management. The Case Studies were very helpful to pull all the concepts together.

By Tracy Manzi on 2/19/2025

Shame that not advised that it was using Canadian Governance and not anything around UK regulations, however, I am able to substitute due to my own knowledge and experience, but others with less experience may struggle.

By Jill Roberts on 11/13/2024

I am not sure yet which country it relates to - I am in England so hoping that it gives some specific examples for CQC. The slides are very engaging - very text heavy.

By Renee McClellan on 7/10/2024

Good Information, and I did learn a lot. I do think it would have been more beneficial to have the case study as pdfs to references; I also don't think the study material (which is just a 15 minute recap of the whole lesson is necessary)
