This module focuses on articulating a coherent problem definition and plan for addressing healthcare informatics problems. Learners will also create an Informatics Stack analysis of an informatics problem and describe socio-technical aspects of a health informatics problem or solution.
In this module, learners will learn about leading change in health IT organizations, the importance of multidisciplinary teamwork, and best practices for successful change management in health informatics.
Module 3 identifies opportunities for healthcare informatics interventions, applies a structured framework for decision support components, and outlines a health informatics solution for decision support.
This module covers different forms of clinical and population level data, the data required to answer a healthcare information problem, and the distinction between data questions and data queries in healthcare information problems.
The capstone course allows learners to create a comprehensive plan for an informatics intervention of their choosing, demonstrating the new skills obtained through the completion of the series of five courses in Health Informatics.
