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.

Principales reseñas sobre THE SOCIAL AND TECHNICAL CONTEXT OF HEALTH INFORMATICS
I learned a lot about the concept of STACK social and technical application of health informatics.
The final peer review project helped make sense of the preceding 4 weeks. That was the bit I enjoyed the most.
Good start to the specialization, very comprehensive, slides are informative, quizzes are challenging.
Well-organized and helps me develop conceptual, learn to synthesize ideas, and begin constructing knowledge in informatics
