General Information

Overview

Digital health is being used in hospitals and private health care providers in the community. Using electronic systems to communicate and store personal health care data is fast becoming the norm and is yet another expectation of contemporary health care. Hospital digital health systems require health care professionals to enter patient information, while the Australia wide My Health Record ensures all health care professionals have access to individual health records. This unit examines the different types of telecommunication and virtual technologies available in health care that promote individualised and person-centred care. You will explore the history of digital health care systems as well as analyse contemporary issues and concerns including cybersecurity, privacy, consent and electronic exchange of information.

That was awesome! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk to you and your students 😊

Recommendation

Continue to utilise guest speakers where possible in tutorials to help students see how they can embed their theory learnings into practice.

Feedback from SUTE Unit comments

Feedback

I felt I was not as engaged once the due date for the final assignment had passed. I may help to place the assignment due date further along in the course to keep students attending tutorials.

Recommendation

Due date for further assessment will be moved to later in the term.
