HIT 422: Healthcare Systems and Data

This course focuses on the various kinds of data systems across different settings in modern healthcare, and how design choices related to such data systems can impact the practice of healthcare and thus human health. We will explore such technology both from the perspective of the provider (e.g. doctor, hospital) as well as the perspective of the patient, to understand the human side of such data systems. We will also look more broadly at data management for clinical research trials, pharmaceuticals, and public health. Course topics will include: data ecosystems in healthcare, electronic heath records, data integration and exchange, healthcare data challenges, clinical systems, billing systems for payors, patient-facing systems, clinical research data management, and "big data" in healthcare. This course will provide an in-depth exploration of the vast array of roles that data plays in modern healthcare, and the skills necessary to manage such data.
