GHHE 000/5290 - Health Analytics and Informatics (3 cr.)
Description
Like many fields, if not more so, Public Health is not immune from the “big data revolution”. The “how” do healthcare providers, community groups, researchers and policy makers, mine, analyze, and use data to understand and improve population health, as well as keep an eye out for the impact of global practices/crises on local communities defines Health Analytics and Informatics. This course introduces students to key big data sources and analytic techniques, understand the differences between big data approaches and traditional statistics, and the techniques applicable to the areas of epidemiology and risk assessment, policy, health systems, community, and global health. Through case studies students will evaluate application, ethics, bias, and effectiveness of big data strategies.
