The delivery of health services is an information-intensive process. In order to collect, analyze, store, and retrieve information in an efficient manner, healthcare professionals are increasingly using computer-based software. From measuring clinical outcomes to improve quality of care to identifying insurance coverage, from tracking costs to scheduling appointments, computers are at the core of most health service professionals' activities. The need to understand and use computer-based healthcare software applications has been intensified by the radical changes brought about by managed care, integration, and the rapid developments in information technology. In this course students learn to understand the design, evaluation, selection and utilization of computer applications in healthcare and how computer applications support high-quality patient care and improve management decisions in healthcare facilities.
