Coursework
Selected Coursework:

The department I was deployed in was Temple Health Institutional Advancement – Stewardship & Events department. My office space is primarily in the Lewis Katz School of Medicine (LKSOM), but I also work between the Medical Education and Research Building (MERB) as well as the hospital grounds itself. I was a student intern tasked with compiling constituent information into more readable and accessible data.
Projects included:
- Taking past event data from a previous list, and manipulating it for use on a future list.
- Cross-checking entries from our lists with Banner & Cognos reporting information.
- Updating lists with the use of prospect research tools.
What I have done with data here is precisely what I have learned to do in MIS 2501 and 2502. Where we are able to present insights from the hospital data analyzed.
Healthcare Financing and Information Technology: Understanding the insurance, payment mechanisms, contractual arrangements and control mechanisms related to the provision of health services.
Risk Management & Insurance: Means of identification, evaluation, and treatment of these risks are analyzed, with the methods of treatment including insurance, risk retention, self-insurance, and loss control.
Operations Management: Utilization of the planning and scheduling of operations, allocation of resources, including staffing requirements and equipment decisions, inventory control and production planning, waiting line problems, and quality.
