Alternative Title: Information Technology in the Health Care System of the Future
Author: Bergeron, Bryan; Sands, Daniel; Blander, Jeffrey; Yoo, Julie; Locke, Steven
Date Issued: 2007-06
Abstract:
This course will show how information technologies (IT) shape and redefine the health care marketplace. Students will learn how IT enhances medical care through: 1) improved economies of scale, 2) greater technical efficiencies in the delivery of care, 3) advanced tools for patient education and self-care, 4) network-integrated decision support tools for clinicians, and 5) opportunities for e-health delivery over the internet. Students will work in interdisciplinary teams to design an innovative solution to a current or future health care problem. Students' proposed solutions will draw upon understanding of tools and principles acquired and will be presented as an application design during the final days of the course.
