The health information workforce is a rapidly developing one. The Master of Health Information Management (MHIM) is an advanced course 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; professional 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.

Emerging Technologies

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

Explores the changes occurring in the structure and delivery of health services as a result of the digital transformation that has occurred across the industry. The subject considers the impact of such technology on consumers, communities, health professionals and health services. The subject will explore the role of data, networks, wearables and other technologies in healthcare.

Digital Health

Protective Security relates to security governance (including supporting a positive security culture), information security (including cyber security), personnel security (including employees and contractors) and physical security (providing a safe and secure physical environment for an organisation’s people, information and assets). This fully online subject provides you with a thorough understanding of the concepts and practical applications of Protective Security. You will gain an appreciation of the issues and elements that underlie the practice of Protective Security and draw upon theoretical concepts, real life case studies and relevant standards.  This subject will provide you with the knowledge and skills to translate and communicate theoretical concepts in Protective Security into tangible outputs for industry. This subject, together with crisis management, business continuity management, and the ability to lead resilient organisations, are collectively the underpinning foundation for enhancing organisational resilience. The subject provides you with an understanding and the requisite skills that will be interrelated with these subjects should you proceed further with your postgraduate studies in organisational resilience.

EMT608 Teaching Digital Technologies is designed specifically for pre-service teachers undertaking a Master of Teaching. It will analyse the distinctions between ICT and Digital Technologies and explore how computers can be used, with a major focus on ICT General Capability or the Digital Technologies subject of the Australian Curriculum. This subject also provides opportunities for you to demonstrate your practical usage of ICTs or Digital Technologies. In addition, you will demonstrate your capacity to design good teaching and assessment strategies, and ethically apply contemporary and emerging computer technology in your professional practice.

Digital Technologies

This subject will enable students to critically evaluate the theory, practice and processes for managing data in the healthcare system. The foundations of health data, information, knowledge and wisdom will be introduced, including the concept of information architecture. Methods and the value of data analysis and interpretation are the central focus of the subject, along with an exploration of the role of data linkage. Students will have opportunities to hear from experts across Australia and participate in industry case studies and analyses.

Health Data Management, Information Analysis and Improvement

Students will acquire the skills and techniques required to analyse and manage data, interpret results, and report data analysis methods and findings in a business environment. Qualitative and quantitative research approaches are examined to consider their respective contributions, discretely and in combination, to knowledge development through empirical research. The quantitative component covers basic statistical thinking and data analysis techniques. A strong emphasis will be placed on the logic underlying statistical concepts such as probability and probability distributions, normal distribution, sampling distributions, parameter estimation, and hypothesis testing. A range of data analysis techniques will also be covered, including t-test, Analysis of Variance, cross tabulation, regression, correlation, and factor analysis. There is a strong emphasis on the application of statistical techniques to practical research problems in a business context. The statistical computer package SPSS will be used for the statistical analysis of data. The qualitative component examines principles and techniques for organising, analysing and reporting qualitative data. The central principle of this component is the execution of rigorous qualitative data analysis through ‘good housekeeping’ – undertaking, recording and demonstrating careful, rational decision-making in qualitative data analysis (Marshall, 1999). Consequently, strategies for undertaking and reporting analysis of qualitative data are equally emphasised. Strategies for data analysis will include techniques for organising, searching, retrieving and interpreting qualitative data to develop and test theoretical conclusions. Strategies for reporting analytical processes will incorporate techniques for recording and describing data analysis, including the articulation of theoretical conclusions and the use of qualitative data to illustrate and support conclusions drawn. Data analysis processes will be undertaken using NVivo, a computer software program for qualitative data analysis.

Data Analysis and Management

This subject explores issues relating to diffusion of innovation, technology acceptance, and change management. Relevant theories relating to these areas are critically analysed. Strategies for successful implementation of technology are explored, including the identification of barriers to implementation. The diffusion of technology from the organisational and social context of health care is assessed. This includes the characteristics of health organisations and technology and the ways in which innovative individuals and organisations facilitate the successful introduction of health technology.

The Diffusion of Health Technology

This subject explores the information security issues arising from technology use in the health care environment. Consideration is given to legal and ethical concepts and issues, with an emphasis on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of health information. Students are provided the opportunity to apply their learning by undertaking a risk analysis and mitigation process related to the core business of a health organisation. Security standards and systems are discussed in context to protecting personal health information, including the limitations of the technology to support this.
