Master's Degree Program in Digital Health Application period: 14-28 March 2018
Digitalisation challenges social and health care activities as well as our way of thinking about them. A new approach to social and health care services means that clients/patients have access to information about their care and can be involved in the decision-making about their own care. Digitalisation does not develop by itself, it requires multidisciplinary expertise to achieve commitment to change in the working life and to promote digitalisation actively. Digitalisation also offers possibilities for business intelligence.
The Master's Degree in Digital Health at Savonia University in Finland, provides graduates with skills needed for innovative development of digital, social, and health care services, service production, expert organisation management and the development of service quality and management. The studies also prepare the students for planning, implementing and evaluating the social welfare and health care reform in different operational environments.
There is a new vision for the Australian Telehealth Conference 2018 coming up in Sydney April 11-12, with strong themes of design thinking, co-design and patient-centered care.
Organisers the Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA) say it reflects world trends towards co-creation in healthcare – consumers not just as “users” but “makers and shapers” of health services including telehealth.
HISA recently launched a dedicated Community of Practice for members interested in patient UX which includes professionals from across clinical areas and specialities as well as technologists and designers.
Look out for appearances at ATC 2018 by speakers on social developments in medicine, co-design and design innovation including Prof Trish Greenhalgh, University of Oxford (UK); Professor Deborah Lupton, from the University of Canberra and Stanford Medicine X CEO Larry Chu MD. For traditional telehealth watchers, the event will also feature speakers from around Australia who are successfully embedding new technology.
Early Bird rates end today (14 February) and there are also discounts for healthcare group bookings.
