MLS 1301Behind the Scenes: The Science of Health Care3

Credits: 3 hr This course will use instruction in information literavy to allow students to examine what clinical laboratory science (CLS) is and how othe health professions interact with the laboratory. Students will learn to idenify appropriate information sources, utilize appropriate search strategies, evaluate the results of their searches, effectively use the information found, and demonstrate ethical use of these sources. The information obtaied will demonstrate the importance of laboratory testing while allowing tudents to explore other health professions through the lens of the laboratory profession. Students wil also learn medical terminology by using those terms during the process of examining the various laboratory tests, diagnoses, department, professions, and case studies presented in class. Appropriate information resources will be identified in the process of learning medical terminology. Students will be exposed to introductory cultural competency and will have an option for service learning. Lecture/Lab Combination.

Credits: 3 hrs This course introduces inductive research as a practical approach to inquiry in which conclusions are drawn from real-world observations and data rather than from pre-existing theories. Learners develop research thinking and scholarly writing skills essential for future clinical laboratmy healthcare adminish·ators responsible for financial performance, service delivery, and laboratory quality indicators. Through team-based learning (TBL) and case-driven inquiiy, students explore authentic challenges in clinical laboratory operations that managers and administrators routinely monitor, analyze, and improve, such as turnaround time performance, workforce stability and retention, reagent supply management, quality indicator outcomes, patient safety events, regulatory compliance, and cost containment. This is a bridge course to MHA 6340 Advanced Healthcare Management Applications for the Master of Healthcare Adminish·ation (MHA) with a Specialization in Medical Laboratory Science degree program track.
