Draw practical lessons from failures in health informatics implementation without assigning blame that suppresses reporting.
Planning the Implementation of Health Informatics Systems in Hospitals
A concise, decision-focused programme covering health informatics implementation end to end.
Course Overview
The data supporting health informatics implementation is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. Clinical staff will work around a process for the health and pharmaceutical services capability that obstructs care, and they will be right to. The professional literature on this part of health and pharmaceutical services converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The programme takes participants through health informatics implementation end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda to standardise and which to leave flexible. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this area of health and pharmaceutical services hard in practice. The level assumes working familiarity with the clinical service but no prior formal training in health informatics implementation. Plans for this part of health and pharmaceutical services often fail at the handover point between functions. The programme closes with an action plan for this area of health and pharmaceutical services that each participant writes for their own organisation.
