About
Developing your leadership abilities is essential as you continue to build your influence and success at a healthcare establishment. The Healthcare Administration/ Hospital Management Diploma helps you develop the skills and the foundation you seek to lead, motivate, and succeed in a healthcare facility. This program allows you to learn proven leadership practices to be a reliable administrator, build cohesive teams, and develop excellence in others.
The Healthcare Administration Diploma is a 12-month part-time training program. Three terms can lead students to earn a diploma. The program prepares healthcare professionals to become more effective managers and supervisors. Students will increase their overall understanding of management issues and concepts so they can make well-informed decisions.
The program’s structure gives students tremendous flexibility:
- All modules are online, with some onsite practicum. Students can receive in-person management training while maintaining material access at all times.
- Modules are supported by experienced, highly qualified teachers who monitor students’ weekly progress.
Healthcare Vs. Health Care
Contrary to popular belief, these two terms are different. You must know the difference between healthcare and health care.
Health care is a term used to refer to the wide range of services a patient may receive, such as improving a patient’s mental and physical health.
Healthcare is a term used to describe the system or systems in which medical professionals perform health care.
Healthcare Administration (Specialized for Hospital Management)
Healthcare management is mainly a responsibility in healthcare administration; therefore, it would be wise to major in healthcare administration so that you can learn the ins and outs of what it takes to run healthcare facilities. If you follow the path to earn a degree in healthcare management, you will discover many of the same topics that health administration covers, like how healthcare facilities operate.
By completing the Health Care Administration Diploma program, learners will develop a comprehensive understanding of the healthcare industry and the practical skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in various roles.

HCA-101: Health Information Management
HCA-101 introduces the concepts of health information technology and management. In the age of the Electronic Health Record (EHR), staying on top of the latest trends in technology and federal legislation is a must for today’s healthcare professionals. This course is mapped to the latest CAHIIM domains and standards and includes new coverage of e-HIM, EHRs, data integrity and security, ICD-10-CM implementation, and HIPAA. Concise and approachable, HCA-101 presents topics in simple language that readers can easily understand.
HCA-102: Ethics of Health Care
HCA-102 is an introductory course in the ethics of health care. We will explore the foundational principles of law, basic principles of ethics, the nature of rights, and standard ethical decision-making theories and apply them to various issues that arise in the healthcare context, such as requests for futile care, euthanasia, abortion, informed consent, confidentiality, genetic testing, post-humanism, distributive justice, and professional gatekeeping.
HCA-103: Medical Coding
HCA-103 provides the most trusted resources available to help students master today’s most current 2020 CPT® and HCPCS diagnostic and procedural coding and the other precise guidelines established by federal agencies, Medicare and the American Medical Association (AMA). Carefully illustrated procedures, contemporary case studies, the latest practical coding assignments, and memorable examples help students learn procedural coding for all medical specialties and successfully prepare for certification exams. This course’s resources work seamlessly with CPT® and HCPCS Level II manuals.
MED-C201: Anatomy & Physiology
MED-C201 delivers a thorough overview of the basics of studying the human body and how it functions. It walks students through a general introduction to life functions, terminology and phonetic pronunciations and an overall review of human development and body processes. This edition is aligned with Precision Exams’ Health Science Career Cluster. A media link feature directs students to 3-D anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology animations that bring chapter concepts to life. Career Profiles give students insight into growing healthcare professions.
MED-C202: Medical Terminology
MED-C202 simplifies memorizing complex medical terminology by focusing on the essential word parts — common prefixes, suffixes and root words — that provide a foundation for learning hundreds of medical terms. Organized by body systems, this course follows a logical flow of information: an overview of the body system’s structure and functions, a summary of applicable medical specialties, and pathology, diagnostic, and treatment procedures. Students master the language necessary to describe how each body system works, what goes wrong with it, and how to treat it, and then put their new skills into practice in exercises.
