About the Course

Improving health and healthcare institutions requires understanding of data and creation of interventions at the many levels at which health IT interact and affect the institution. These levels range from the external “world” in which the institution operates down to the specific technologies. Data scientists find that, when they aim at implementing their models in practice, it is the “socio” components that are both novel to them and mission critical to success. At the end of this course, students will be able to make a quick assessment of a health informatics problem—or a proposed solution—and to determine what is missing and what more needs to be learned. Who Is This Class For? Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, and other allied health professionals interested in expanding their understanding of digital health, big data, health information systems, and the unintended consequences of disruptive innovation in the healthcare system. The course is also aimed at those with technical, engineering, or analytics backgrounds who want to understand the nuances of those topics when it comes to healthcare....

Very good information and the teaching material is easy to process and understand. I think the stack is a brilliant method to assess and to learn it is one of the important aspects of informatics.

Using the videos, the video transcripts as well as printing the slides and taking very thorough notes is not enough to learn the material. I had to look up some things independently, because the information presented was not always clear. The quizzes (especially Mod 2 & Mod 3 quizzes) were not written well. If a quiz has an 89% fail rate for the first time it is taken, that should not be seen as a failing of the students, but of how the quiz was designed.

Adequate information; presentation is sub-par with only video instruction at times with poor audio quality. Would prefer more written materials - at least as a supplement - and strongly prefer more modules with interactive components.

More interactive quizzes and discussions would be helpful as just plain lectures and quizzes. Course 2 is a great example to follow that is more engaging.

A massive waste of time. Choose another course on the topic. The end assignment was vague and useless. The quizzes are difficult since the lecturer and the visual presentation do not provide much detail or explanation. I finished the project but did not get the certificate because there are no other participants to evaluate. Take that as a sign of the qulity of this course.

I would not recommend this Course. Some Slides were not explained yet were referred to in the quiz.

Instructor's train of thought/voice was unclear at times. Objectives not covered at the start but were on a slide at closing? No review of the answers to objectives at closing just statement of objectives.

Of all the courses I've taken via Coursera, this is by far the worst. The instructor was/is monotone with a flat affect and seem to think professional dress was for someone else. I had to continously pinch myself to stay awake. I could not recommend this course to anyone I cared about.

The Instructor's voice is unclear and monotone which makes it hard to understand the idea.

Week 1 is long and contains very few information.

The voice isn't clear, the professor isn't really aware of that he's talking about.

Testing is wrong, exam is bugged. You can get right answer marked wrong and when you retake the exam, it gets marked right and vice versa .

This was too boring for me to want to complete. I am trying to figure out how to unenroll. Only take it if you need to have this cert for something.
