Technology and Informatics in Healthcare

3 credits · Graduate School

This doctoral-level course examines informatics and data science as foundations for scientific inquiry and knowledge generation in nursing and health research. Students critically examine informatics frameworks, data sources, information infrastructures, technologies, and analytic approaches that support the design and conduct of rigorous research. Emphasis is placed on data management, interoperability, data quality, visualization, artificial intelligence, and emerging computational approaches relevant to research. Students integrate informatics and traditional data analytic approaches within their developing programs of research while considering methodological, ethical, and interdisciplinary dimensions of data-intensive science.
