Health, Media and Communication Technology
Description
Healthcare experts call for the global adoption of communication and information technologies to reduce costs and improve access, efficiency and quality. Telehealth, secure patient portals, websites, social media and mobile applications have the potential to address multiple goals across systems of health care delivery. This course provides a broad overview of medical media and communication technologies used in the delivery and administration of modern health care systems. Online health communities outside of medical contexts are also a focus. Topics include finding credible information online, Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) systems, Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and the digital divide.
