Health Informatics

 

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course provides students with the required knowledge and skills that will allow them to use IT technologies, i.e. computers and the Internet as tools in their scientific and professional work. Also, the objective of the course is to train students in the basic applications of informatics in the context of health sciences with an emphasis on public health and community health, such as for example the management of the electronic record and the information system of a structure. Finally, to inform them about the applications of IT in the context of health services.

Also, the course aims to familiarize students with the use of computers as a tool for searching for knowledge through the Internet and other available services, which can be applied both to meet the needs of their studies and in their professional lives . , a skill that will allow them to monitor, but also participate in their offers in the field of health, making them competitive in the workplace.

In the context of the workshop, the student will have the opportunity to acquire previous skills in the use of various computer programs (for example word processing, presentations, spreadsheets) that you use during your studies, as well as in your later professional career his her.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

• has understood the basics of using computers as a tool for searching for knowledge through the Internet and other available services
• has knowledge of the tools and techniques in the basic applications of informatics in the context of health sciences, for the provision of quality health services
• has advanced capabilities in using PC programs (file management, word processing, presentations, spreadsheets)
• operate autonomously and/or in collaboration with other health professionals, in the context of the implementation of programs and information systems
• operate this and/or in collaboration with other health professionals, in the context of the application of telemedicine and tele-education in the health sector
• use the computer and the internet as tools in his/her scientific and professional work
