NURS 831 - Advanced Topics in Health Informatics

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Bowles. Prerequisite(s): NURS 651, NURS 551, SYS 528, or permission of instructor. This course is designed to survey a broad range of advanced topics in the field of health informatics. Course faculty and invited speakers will provide the content for weekly meetings conducted in a blended environment (both on-line and in the classroom). Each week, students will listen to a lecture and then participate in a group discussion. Approximately half of these lecture/discussion sessions will take place in a "live" classroom, while the remainder will be available asynchronously in an online setting (i.e. using Blackboard). There will be no textbook; however each speaker will provide links to web-based resources that provide either background information or further elaboration of their topic. A group of students (depending upon size of class, probably 2-3 per topic) will take the lead for each topic, communicating with the speaker and facilitating the class discussion. As a final project, these student groups will also develop a more complete web resource for their selected topic.
