Leading change in health IT often means navigating misaligned teams, slow adoption, and policy gaps despite clinical urgency.
The situation this course is for
You're a leader at the intersection of nursing, informatics, and national policy. Yet even with proven expertise, translating vision into scalable impact is hard. Initiatives stall without clear governance. Teams resist change without shared language. Policy lags behind innovation. You need a structured way to lead transformation that sticks, without burning out or losing momentum.
Who this is for
Judy, a nurse executive and health IT leader with national influence, focused on advancing digital health policy and interoperability through strategic leadership and governance.
Who this is not for
This is not for entry-level clinicians, software developers, or those seeking technical certifications in EHR systems.
What you walk away with
- Lead digital health initiatives with confidence using proven scaling frameworks
- Align clinical, technical, and administrative stakeholders around shared goals
- Design governance models that accelerate adoption and compliance
- Translate policy mandates into operational workflows
- Build influence across federal, private, and academic health sectors
