Course description

The course focuses on planning, designing, and implementing digital health technologies into the healthcare system and clinical practice. This course emphasises the digital transformation of healthcare services and the need for upskilling students in change management. This course uses narrative digital learning practices to guide students through a transformative journey from digital health novices to effectively using and applying digital health technologies in clinical practice. The distinctly different sectors of hospital, community (primary care), and home will be explored, along with the significant digital health technologies relevant to each sector. In addition, students will examine how technology can support and engage the consumer in self-care 'wellness', priorities of governments as they seek to ensure future good population health. Implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) in Australia and other developed and developing nations will be covered.
