Healthcare Informatics
Medical practitioners and healthcare delivery organizations face formidable administrative and technical challenges in the management of patient health and wellness, accurate and timely diagnosis of illness, and the determination and delivery of appropriate care and treatment. Information technology (IT) can play a key role in mitigating these challenges and thereby enabling healthcare performance transformation. Implementation of application and integration middleware (AIM), interoperable with analytics and accessible in real-time at the point of care and elsewhere, is the most cost-effective IT approach. This course explores the many issues and barriers faced by those IT professionals who are working to implement Health Information Systems.
