Aims And Objectives

Module 1: Computer Hardware and Software in Healthcare Learning Objectives • Distinguish between computer hardware and software, between input and output devices, and between operating systems and application software in healthcare. • Explain the roles of the CPU, RAM, hard disk drive and removable storage media in a Computer system. • Recognize that computer software is licensed rather than sold, should not be copied illegally, and may contain errors. Who should attend: All health care professionals who require a basic understanding of the role of technology in their health care practice. Module 2: Computer Network and Health Informatics Learning Objectives • List the benefits of computer networking, distinguish between LANs and WANS, and between private access and public access networks in healthcare. • Recognize why all computers on the same network must use the same protocol, and distinguish between the Internet and private intranets • List three type of channels used for data communications, and explain telemedicine and list its benefits • Explain health informatics and list the factors critical to its success. Who should attend: All health care professionals who require a basic understanding of the role of technology in their health care practice. Prepared by Hamza Alshawaf- Kuwait University HSC FAHS-HIIM UNIT 2: Information Management in Healthcare Level 2 is targeted at healthcare workers who already understand their role of technology in the healthcare sector. The Level 2 syllabus outlines data, Information and knowledge technologies used in a healthcare environment, and covers topics ranging from information protection, security, privacy and confidentiality and electronic record keeping. Module 3: Healthcare Data, Information and Knowledge Learning Objectives • List and describe the methods by which raw data can be processed into meaningful information • List the time, content and form aspects of information • Distinguish between information and knowledge, and describe the three knowledge types • Explain the components and processes of inference • Define understanding and wisdom in a healthcare environment. • Explain health informatics and list the factors critical to its success. Who should attend: Health care professionals who already understand their role of technology and wish to understand further using data to get certain information which leads to needed knowledge in healthcare. Module 4: Health Information Privacy, Security, and Confidentiality Learning Objectives Recognize that privacy drives the need for security systems, and that security systems protect privacy in healthcare. • List and describe the four elements of information security: confidentiality, integrity, availability and compliance. • List and describe the three types of measures that protect security: technical, physical and organizational (or administrative) safeguards.
