What is health care innovation?

Health care innovation refers to positive changes that improve one or more aspects of medical care delivery, from policies and technologies to administration, provision of care and much more. Because innovation encompasses the entire world of health care in this context, it’s an especially broad concept.

Entrepreneurial opportunities in health care might include, among many other potential avenues and options:

Advancements in administration that help providers better understand and optimize their operations.
Technologies that support better adherence to medication schedules by patients.

Online health care certificate programs in innovation offer an educational environment specifically geared toward creating new, relevant and actionable concepts. You can develop your talents as both an entrepreneur and an effective professional in the area or areas of health care on which you choose to focus.

Does my health care innovation certificate say 'online'?

No, Arizona State University’s diplomas don’t specify whether you earn your degree online or in person. All diplomas and transcripts simply say “Arizona State University.” That’s because ASU Online students learn from the same faculty and receive the same course content as in-person students receive.
