Humana, University of Houston Offer Online Courses on Value-Based Care

Humana and the University of Houston are meeting that need with a seven-course “specialization” on Coursera, the online education program. Completing the flight of courses will help providers, academics, business, and industry professionals, and the public learn about the “fundamentals and real-world application of value-based care that has become integral to improving outcomes in health care,” Humana said in a press release.

“Taking this specialization will help practitioners understand how value-based payment works, how they can incorporate more social determinants of health in value-based programs, and how we treat the whole patient,” Cockerell said. “Keeping the patients at the center of care is really what our corporate strategy is about.”
