Description
Professionals in the field of health informatics must not only be skilled in the technological aspects of information science but also be able to identify health care system transformations and objectives and their related data requirements to properly align health informatics development strategies. This is particularly relevant as the nation’s health care systems evolve in response to shifts in the focus of health care provision as well as payment structures. Students will consider the roles of data and documentation in the organization of health care as a whole and from an individual provider’s perspective. Weekly clinical scenarios will provide a framework for the topics to be examined. Through individual and group work, students will evaluate the function of data in enabling health care systems to realize the broadly defined goal of improved health and determine the capacity of health informatics to advance that goal.
