This course presents a detailed review of the structure of provider, payer, and other health care organizations along with the workflow in these types of organizations and their information systems needs. It addresses how informatics assists these organizations, how information is used in business and clinical operations, and how information technologists interact with business and clinical stakeholders in provider, payer, and other healthcare organizations. Students will analyze the informatics function and organizational relationships in their organizations.
This course presents the foundation concepts of modeling health and healthcare information, including the principal process and data modeling methodologies and notation systems. Students will explore these techniques to create components of an enterprise information architecture for reference in subsequent courses. Modeling standards and best practices are covered along with model quality assessment. The course concludes by examining the use of information models for process redesign and reengineering, and applications in computational biology and chemistry.
This course identifies the differences between healthcare transactional and analytical systems followed by a description of the principal business and clinical systems in provider, payer, public health, and regulatory organizations. It also examines program and project management systems used in health care. The function and structure of these systems is explored along with concepts of data interoperability, system interfacing and system integration.
The course develops the skills needed to lead and manage IT acquisition, development, and implementation projects from requirements analysis through solution design in a health care environment. It covers building an interdisciplinary team among the principal healthcare stakeholders, and the various methods used to plan systems, define system requirements, and selecting in-house development, custom development, or acquisition of vendor solutions. It also covers managing the creation of a solution architecture and design, implementation planning, resource allocation, and quality management. ( OM 573 will also be accepted as meeting this requirement)
This course examines the US and international standards environment, how standards organizations work, how standards are created and how these are used. Each student will select one of the major US standards organizations, and prepare and present a briefing on the organization and its standards. The role of the federal government will be reviewed. Students will participate in a debate often facing healthcare organizations on the merits of using informatics standards.
This course provides the opportunity for guided analysis and discussion of the emerging issues in health informatics from the perspective of student accomplishments in the first year of this program. Under faculty guidance, students will form small discussion groups, identify a number of important and emerging issues for analysis and discussion. The course concludes with student presentations of these issues, salient points, and any conclusions or resolutions reached. Students will also identify and frame their thesis or professional contribution research.
This course will orient the student to the legal, ethical and public policy issues confronting health informaticists. Students will review key medico-legal, ethical, and regulatory issues such as the nature of the electronic health record, electronic medical record, personal health record. They will examine existing and emerging issues in data ownership, the medico-legal requirements for health information, privacy and confidentiality of protected health information, and what constitutes and authorized use of personal data. Emerging regulatory provisions, such as evolving federal requirements, will be discussed. (NSG 555 will also be accepted as meeting this requirement).
This course explores the process of governing information as en enterprise core asset in the healthcare organization. The course will explore the rationale behind Core Asset Management and the essential elements of enterprise information governance, such as data quality, security and master data management. The course will examine the benefits of information governance along with overcoming resistance within the organization. The course will also examine how to measure progress along the information governance implementation path. Students will create an outline for an enterprise information governance strategy and implementation approach.
This course prepares students for the duties and responsibilities of the informaticist, information technologist, or information manager at the director and executive level of healthcare organizations. Students will acquire skills for succeeding in their corporate management functions, in the management committee, and in the boardroom. Course topics will include executive decision making, individual and group executive presentations, professional ethics, executive presence, strategic planning, succession planning, and executive etiquette. Students will make extensive use of case studies and white papers, and prepare and deliver typical executive briefings and supporting documents.
This course is a collection of 45 on-line modules delivered on demand. Under guidance from their faculty advisor, students select modules appropriate for their interests and career plans. Each module can be completed in an hour, starting with a pre-test and concluding with a proficiency test. Upon successfully completing these 45 modules, the student and faculty advisor review progress and credit is given for the course. The module library will be available around the clock, 7 days a week and will be periodically reviewed and updated as topics evolve. Modules may not be repeated for credit.
This course is a follow-on to HCI 650 Health Informatics Proficiencies I . This course allows the student to select a set of specific proficiencies in health informatics beyond what is provided in formal course work and independent research. Students can use this vehicle to tailor the course and the masters program to fit their career needs. It also allows the student to select 45 individual one-hour online, on-demand training modules. No training module within this course or from Proficiencies I course may be repeated for credit.
