Course Summary
Healthcare organisations are responsible for managing confidential data relating to the organisation itself and the patients it cares for. Incorporating specialised medical systems and technologies can greatly aid in the efficiency of managing data and can lead to data being even more protected than it would be in a physical form.
Medical system management begins with understanding the type of healthcare information the organisation holds, as this will heavily dictate the type of systems that will be necessary. Management will also review the resources required to establish and maintain all systems by monitoring performance in comparison to the financial cost of maintaining them.
Another crucial factor of medical systems management is ensuring that all medical systems are completely secure. There are various ways to guarantee data security, including physical measures such as CCTV and technical measures such as firewalls and encrypted data. The laws and regulations surrounding medical systems set the standard for what is to be expected from systems, and that includes the required security measures.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of utilising effective medical systems within a healthcare organisation.
- Explore the various types of medical systems and their purposes and benefits.
- Identify different types of records and data collected within the organisation and describe their necessity.
- Plan, strategise and implement medical systems to automate tedious tasks to increase productivity.
- Ensure all medical systems are completely secure to minimise potential data leaks and breaches in confidentiality.
- Assess the laws and regulations surrounding medical systems to guarantee full compliance throughout the system lifetime.
- Smoothly transition physical records and documents into an electronic system.
This course is designed for anyone within a healthcare organisation who is responsible for digitising processes and systems. It would be most beneficial for:
- Operations Managers
- Hospital Directors
- Clinical Managers
- Finance Analysts
- Information Managers
- Healthcare Engineering
- Pharmaceutical Directors
- HR Personnel
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review examples of medical systems from established organisations to highlight key aspects of the system, including its productivity levels and specialised security features.
They will be provided with all the necessary tools and equipment to partake in the learning methods and exercises successfully. These learning exercises include presentations, group discussions, individual activities, and role-playing activities. This combination of individual and group exercises allows the participants to fully develop their knowledge of the taught content and demonstrate all relevant practical skills.
