Education in Clinical Informatics Ciencias Relacionadas Clinical Informatics

Objectives of Education in Clinical Informatics   Understand the process by which information is captured   Understand the methods for classifying and computerize the data   Methods for archiving and storing   The best way to recover ensuring continuity of care through continuity of information (standards)   How to care for the Security, Privacy and Confidentiality of Information   Understanding the culture of care (doctors and nurses) and human adaptation to changes   Bring appropriate knowledge at the point of care   Research and asses health information system

Postgraduate, Introductory level: 10x10   Introduction to Health Informatics (10x10) → MOU between IUEMHI - AMIA - OHSU → 16 weeks with 5 modules → Distance learning modality through virtual campus HIBA → Lectures, reading material, activities and interaction with tutors → More than 1000 students (2006 – actual)

Students’ nationality 23 countries n 1020

10x10 Spanish course - Current contents   Health System Information Systems (4 weeks) → Introduction to healthcare systems (characteristics and problems) → Role of Health Information Systems (HIS) and the Health Informatics discipline.   Legacy Systems Integration (3 weeks) → Implementing clinical layer (or care) and its integration with the administrative layer → Concept of interoperability and standards.   Clinical Information Systems (6 weeks) → Electronic Health Records with focus on how they need to be scalable and interoperable in order to provide support systems for decision-making → Security, privacy and confidentiality of health information.   Clinical Data Management (2 weeks) → Impact of clinical information systems in decision making for the management of organizations promoting healthcare, education and research.   Management of Change (1 week) → Change management challenges that must accompany the transformation of information systems.

Chronic Disease Management.

Teaching modality  Activities → Movie that shows the current situation of healthcare systems  The death of Mr. Lazarescu  Do people resist change?  Syncrhronous meeting → Aims to review the core concepts of the modules addressed, and clear the doubts, whether conceptual or the activities to be undertaken → Adobe Connect recorded for later vieweing of for those who could not attend  Self-assessment → Self testing of the concepts acquired in the reading material (mandatory)  Supplementary Material → Journal articles, book chapters, multimedia

Activities  Movie → Movie that shows the current situation of healthcare systems  The death of Mr. Lazarescu → Problems encountered in the care of the patient → Possible interventions from the perspective of the HIS  Why?  For what?

Activities  Movie → Recognize the factors that predispose or not people to change. → Identify appropriate strategies for change management.

CME – Continuing Medical Education  Journal Club → 300 papers → Each week → Integration with students  Different countries  Different specialities  Webinars → Topics for professional development in Health Informatics → Each month
