The current financial crisis highlights the importance of innovation in healthcare to reduce cost while improving quality. Development of medical homes, personal health records, electronic patient records, mobile health, and other innovative technologies requires leaders who can think and act like entrepreneurs. Dr. Locke and the faculty of HST.921, Information Technology in the Healthcare System of the Future will present and discuss all aspects of the course -- including the mix of lectures by world leaders in medical informatics, skills-based tutorial sessions and faculty-mentored work on industry-sponsored projects.
We will conduct an experiential workshop in which student teams will collaborate in the impromptu design of a device, and we will test the product and award a prize to the winning team.
