This course studies health care data and information, health care information systems (HCIS), and explores the challenges of managing information technology (IT). You will learn the architecture, design, and user requirements of information systems in health care, with a focus on IT aspects of Health Informatics, specifically the design, development, operation, and management of HCIS. The first part of the course introduces foundational concepts, including information processing needs and information management in health care environments. Next, you will engage in a detailed examination of HCIS, including hospital process modeling, architecture, quality assessment, and applicable tools. The course concludes by addressing the management of HCIS and related issues, and the extension of these topics to other healthcare organizations. Throughout the course, you will gain hands-on experience by participating in a term project focused on HCIS research and development.<\/p>\n\t\n\t<p class=\"\"><em>2026SPRGMETCS781O2, Mar 10th to Apr 27th 2026<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"responsive-table\">\n<table>\n\t<tr>\n\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t<th>Type<\/th>\n\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t<\/tr>\n\t<tr>\n\t<td>ARR<\/td>\n\t<td>12:00 AM<\/td>\n\t<td>12:00 AM<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Format &amp; Syllabus:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"btn-group\">\n<div class=\"dropdown\">\n<p><button class=\"button\">On Campus<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"dropdown-content\"><a href=\"\/csmet\/files\/2022\/09\/CS781_Syllabus_2022_Fallv2.docx\">CS781 FALL22<\/a><a href=\"\/csmet\/files\/2018\/05\/CS781_C1_E1_Fall-2017.pdf\">CS781 FALL17<\/a><a href=\"\/csmet\/files\/2018\/05\/CS781_Spring-2017.pdf\">CS781 SPRG17<\/a><a href=\"\/csmet\/files\/2016\/01\/CS781_OL_Spring20161.pdf\">CS781 SPRG16<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dropdown\">\n<p><button class=\"button\">Online<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"dropdown-content\"><a href=\"\/csmet\/files\/2024\/04\/CS781_OL_Syllabus_2024Spring2.pdf\"><\/a><a href=\"\/csmet\/files\/2026\/03\/MET-CS781-2026-Spring-2-Syllabus-FINAL-REVISED-20260314.pdf\">781 O2 SPRG26<\/a><a href=\"\/csmet\/files\/2024\/04\/CS781_OL_Syllabus_2024Spring2.pdf\">CS781 SPRG24<\/a><a href=\"\/csmet\/files\/2018\/05\/CS781_O1_Spring-2018.pdf\">CS781 SPRG18<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dropdown\">\n<p><button class=\"button\">Blended<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"dropdown-content\"><a href=\"\/csmet\/files\/2024\/09\/CS781_Syllabus_2024_Fall.pdf\"><\/a><a href=\"\/csmet\/files\/2025\/09\/CS781_Syllabus_2025_Fall_20250829.pdf\">CS781 FALL25<\/a><a href=\"\/csmet\/files\/2024\/09\/CS781_Syllabus_2024_Fall.pdf\">CS781 FALL24<\/a><a href=\"\/csmet\/files\/2018\/05\/CS781_C1_E1_Fall-2017.pdf\">CS781 FALL17<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfloat\"><\/div>\n<p><br style=\"clear: both;\" \/><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Format &amp; Syllabus: On Campus CS781 FALL22CS781 FALL17CS781 SPRG17CS781 SPRG16 Online 781 O2 SPRG26CS781 SPRG24CS781 SPRG18 Blended CS781 FALL25CS781 FALL24CS781 FALL17<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2828,"featured_media":0,"parent":7301,"menu_order":105,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/no-sidebars.php","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/csmet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6637"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/csmet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/csmet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/csmet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2828"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/csmet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6637"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/csmet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6637\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31528,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/csmet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6637\/revisions\/31528"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/csmet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/csmet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
