Description
Many aspects of digital technology affect service delivery in health, and are revolutionising many aspects of health and health care. This module will address issues including digitisation to reform service delivery, the role of ‘big data’, digital health (AI) applications, sharing information, and maintaining information security, and research. These are also issues of immediate concern for those leading clinicians, both for day to day delivery and strategic planning. An international perspective will provide a unique chance to explore where systems converge and diverge in terms of the use of digital technology.
