HINF 415 Convergence of Healthcare & Information Technology
Technology is transforming how healthcare is delivered and in the process bringing together disparate groups of people to work together collaboratively. This course will provide an overview of information technology including system analysis and design, data and network management, and information systems architecture and how each directly impacts clinical healthcare personnel. The students will also be introduced to the terminology, practices, and processes found in clinical and business operations. Communication between direct patient care individuals and technology personnel will be explored and appropriate methods fostered.
