To design an interdisciplinary course in health care informatics that enables students to: (1) understand how to incorporate technology into the provision of safe, effective and evidence-based health care; (2) make decisions about the value and ethical application of specific technologies; and (3) appreciate the perspectives and roles of patients and providers when using technology in care.
An online, interdisciplinary elective course using a distributive learning model was created. Standard courseware was used to manage teaching and to facilitate student/instructor interactions. Interactive, multimedia lectures were developed using Internet communication software.
Upon completion of the course, students demonstrated competency in identifying, analyzing, and applying informatics appropriately in diverse health settings.
Online education using multimedia software technology is effective in teaching students about health informatics and providing an innovative opportunity for interdisciplinary learning. In light of the growing need for efficient health care informatics training, additional study of this methodology is warranted.
设计一门医疗保健信息学跨学科课程，使学生能够：（1）理解如何将技术融入安全、有效且基于证据的医疗保健服务中；（2）对特定技术的价值和伦理应用做出决策；（3）在医疗保健中使用技术时，理解患者和医疗服务提供者的观点及角色。
创建了一门采用分布式学习模式的在线跨学科选修课程。使用标准课件来管理教学并促进学生与教师之间的互动。利用互联网通信软件开发了交互式多媒体讲座。
课程结束时，学生展示了在不同健康环境中识别、分析和适当应用信息学的能力。
使用多媒体软件技术的在线教育在教授学生医疗保健信息学方面是有效的，并为跨学科学习提供了创新机会。鉴于对高效医疗保健信息学培训的需求不断增长，有必要对这种方法进行更多研究。
