| Aim: The course elucidates the roll of information technology within the health care sector where current keywords are care chains, structured documentation, accessibility, quality assurance and efficiency. It presents basic knowledge of medical informatics and the structure and functioning of medical information systems.
Examples are taken from the computer-based medical record system and issues about information infrastructure and information quality. The need for efficient information handling within the health care organisation is described together with the implementation of computer-based information systems. Integrated in the course is also a project assignment that gives the opportunity to specialise in one of the problem areas presented in the course with connection to a particular field of medical service. The project part is carried out in groups of two to four students, and the starting point is development, implementation, use or evaluation of computer-based systems in health care. |
