This course helps prepare students for positions working in the rapidly growing field of information technology for health care delivery and life sciences organizations. With increasing demands for improved quality and efficiency, information technology has become essential to manage health care organizations and systems. The course will investigate frameworks and methods that can be used to develop digital health technology as well as to evaluate information systems, determine system requirements, facilitate effective use of health informatics, and plan system changes to meet future requirements. The perspective of the course is that of the chief information officer, chief medical information officer, other managers, clinicians, and users of both clinical and administrative health care information systems, not that of the technical specialist.
