Curricular information is subject to change.

When thinking about the health service and eHealth there is a tendency to concentrate on the clinical aspects and the systems / data that support the delivery of this care and treatment of the patients. However, the delivery of healthcare cannot occur without a very significant “back office” function. This module will explore the information and systems requirements across a range of areas within the broad “back office” function.
