Then consider HPM 625!
HPM 625 will expose students to the knowledge-centric view of public health
informatics as a driver/enabler of public health intelligence. This course is open to all
students in health care and public health disciplines from all UNC-SPH departments and
schools.
This course will expose students to the concept of public health intelligence that
examines health care delivery and public health outcomes from their most discrete data
elements, information resources, knowledge products, and core decisions.
Students will gain knowledge of the metrics, measures, and methods used to evaluate
the sociotechnical (organizational, technical, and human) factors that shape effective
organizational learning, reduces uncertainty, and supports informed decision making.
No previous informatics training is necessary.
