Master of Health Service Management

The health information workforce is a rapidly developing one. The Master of Health Information Management (MHIM) is an advanced program designed to provide you as current and future health information management professionals with rigorous training focused on issues of contemporary professional health information management practice.Recent industry reports and consultations have highlighted the health information workforce shortages. There is a need for appropriately qualified individuals; professionals who have the skills and knowledge to fill decision-making roles to meet the increasingly complex nature of delivering and managing health services in a data-driven environment. This has become increasingly critical given the national move to Activity Based Funding, where hospitals must track their activity at all levels against agreed targets to optimise their funding. Added to that is the push for efficiencies in the system using digital health and, assistive and emerging technologies (electronic medical records, personalised electronic health records, digitalisation) which will only serve to intensify the need for this professional sector of the health workforce in the future.

Thanks to e-medical records and capabilities, hospitals are using tech to track activity and gain funding. With this comes the need for specialised health information professionals. Specialise in analytics, governance or leadership.

Building Cultural Capability in Health and Community Services

Theories of regulation, governance and national standards for accreditation are reviewed to provide a foundation for organisational management requirements and clinical systems for effective, sustainable high-quality healthcare. Healthcare organisations need for effective understanding of and approaches to risk management, interprofessional practice and continuous quality improvement are reviewed. Analysis will investigate the effectiveness of clinical governance systems for assessing, monitoring, and improving management and clinical systems. To operationalise these requirements, this subject reviews the overarching National Model Clinical Governance Framework (NMCGF) and National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) standards to determine appropriate systems for clinical governance, accountability and clinical performance and effectiveness. This involves the review and application of the NSQHS Clinical Governance Standard.

Clinical Governance in Health Care

TAS-CSA721 is a self-directed, fully on-line introductory subject, that explores a variety of disease states and their management, using patient cases to enable students to enhance their knowledge in clinical pharmacy and pharmacy practice. This subject introduces important concepts that students can apply to develop skills in evidence-based medicine, asking and answering well-articulated clinical questions, and critical review of research literature. Students will develop their skills in evidence-based practice components such as framing an answerable research question and search strategies for a patient&#39;s unique circumstances. Student will use medical databases, learn how to identify high-quality evidence. The skills developed in this subject enhance independent clinical decision-making.

Introduction to Advanced Clinical Pharmacy Practice

This subject will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of contemporary environmental health concepts and examine the environmental and ecological determinants of health within the framework of national and international policy. Students undertaking this course will acquire valuable insights into the intricate relationship between our health and the environment, including the potential impacts of climate change and the benefits of environmental sustainability. You will develop skills in investigating potential pollutants and hazards of local and global concern, including an introduction to the field of toxicology. You will explore ways of assessing environmental health risks, and how to manage these risks through appropriate legislation and regulation. We emphasise the principles and good practices of effective risk communication and community engagement while reviewing lessons learned in public health emergencies. While exploring many of the upstream forces that affect environmental health, including community design, transportation, and energy, we reflect on the collaborative role of public health in enhancing environmental health outcomes.

Environmental Health

This subject examines the complex needs of the person requiring Addiction Services. You will explore epidemiological theories of substance abuse and identify principles of dependence within a range of maladaptive behaviours. In addition, you will extend their knowledge and understanding of treatment approaches, withdrawal management and toxicology.

Contexts of Addiction

In this subject you will examine the development, implementation, and maintenance of health care systems and explore systems theory as it applies to health information systems. You will analyse the life cycle of a health information system, including strategic and tactical information, planning and project management, and the impact on the organisation of each phase of the life cycle. You will evaluate both technical (infrastructure, hardware &amp; software, Standards &amp; Codes) and people issues (education &amp; skill development, changes to roles) which need to be resolved in the process of implementing a successful health information system. You will also explore the role and impact of the informatics professional and the informatics/IT department within the health organisation.

Health Information Systems

In this subject students will further develop their knowledge and skills in the delivery of alcohol and other drug interventions. This subject will focus on current contemporary treatment approaches including psychosocial interventions and pharmacological treatments. This includes the range of alcohol and drug interventions and specialist programs such as substitution therapies.

Approaches to Intervention

This subject introduces the scope of public health practice in the 21st century and the social, political and economic context within which public health practitioners operate. The subject combines theoretical and practical material to assist students to understand the social and economic determinants of health, the importance of improved equity to raising health standards worldwide, nationally and locally, and the ways in which communities can be engaged and empowered to identify and address issues that affect their health. Different health outcomes for people across a range of communities will be critically examined in relation to public health practice.

Introduction to Public Health

In this subject, we investigate healthcare principles and models for engagement between healthcare users, their carers and family, and professionals. The importance of consumer engagement and its association with effective, sustainable organisational governance systems is studied. This involves examining theories, systems, processes and actions for partnering with consumers and delivering comprehensive care.To operationalise these requirements, this subject investigates the application of the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Partnering with Consumers and Comprehensive Care Standards. Their dependency and integration with other standards in the NSQHS are also reviewed.

Principles and Models for Engagement with Consumers in Healthcare

This fully online subject provides students with the knowledge and skills to improve medication safety. The subject introduces students to medication-related problems, along with current practices to reduce these problems in Australian health care. It is contextualised to align with the Australian response to the global challenge of reducing medication-related harm. This subject equips students to play an important role within a model of collaborative interprofessional teamwork.

Quality Use of Medicines and Medicines Safety in Vulnerable Populations

This subject is self-directed, experiential and practice focused.
