Special Note: this unit is offered in even-numbered years only.
Introduction
Theories and approaches to health data management, information analysis and service improvements are reviewed to provide a foundation for enhanced organisational information management. Issues and key challenges addressed include ethics, legal and security requirements for managers and professionals, to enable improvements in database management and clinical documentation. Frameworks and models for information analysis and reporting will be investigated, including strategies for measuring and monitoring organisational and clinical outcomes and experiences. The challenge of seeking to meet diverse outcomes, as necessary in value-based care and the quadruple bottom aim, and how they interact with each other, will be explored. Students will have opportunities to hear from experts across Australia and participate in industry case studies and analysis.
