Health information systems (HIS) are one of the most important areas for biomedical and health informatics. In order to professionally deal with HIS well-educated informaticians are needed. Because of these reasons, in 2001 an international course has been established: The Frank - van Swieten Lectures on Strategic Information Management of Health Information Systems.
Reporting about the Frank - van Swieten Lectures and about our students' feedback on this course during the last 16 years. Summarizing our lessons learned and making recommendations for such international courses on HIS.
The basic concept of the Frank - van Swieten lectures is to teach the theoretical background in local lectures, to organize practical exercises on modelling sub-information systems of the respective local HIS and finally to conduct Joint Three Days as an international meeting were the resulting models are introduced and compared.
During the last 16 years, the Universities of Amsterdam, Braunschweig, Heidelberg/Heilbronn, Leipzig as well as UMIT were involved in running this course. Overall, 517 students from these universities participated. Our students' feedback was clearly positive. The Joint Three Days of the Frank - van Swieten Lectures, where at the end of the course all students can meet, turned out to be an important component of this course. Based on the last 16 years, we recommend common teaching materials, agreement on equivalent clinical areas for the exercises, support of group building of international student groups, motivation of using a collaboration platform, ensuring quality management of the course, addressing different levels of knowledge of the students, and ensuring sufficient funding for joint activities.
Although associated with considerable additional efforts, we can clearly recommend establishing such international courses on HIS, such as the Frank - van Swieten Lectures.
健康信息系统(HIS)是生物医学与健康信息学最重要的领域之一。为了专业地处理健康信息系统,需要受过良好教育的信息学专家。基于这些原因,2001年设立了一门国际课程:弗兰克 - 范·斯维滕健康信息系统战略信息管理讲座。
报告弗兰克 - 范·斯维滕讲座以及过去16年中我们的学生对该课程的反馈。总结我们的经验教训,并为这类健康信息系统国际课程提出建议。
弗兰克 - 范·斯维滕讲座的基本理念是在本地讲座中教授理论背景,组织针对各自本地健康信息系统子信息系统建模的实践练习,最后举办为期三天的国际会议,在会上介绍并比较生成的模型。
在过去16年中,阿姆斯特丹大学、不伦瑞克大学、海德堡/海尔布隆大学、莱比锡大学以及UMIT都参与了该课程的授课。总体而言,来自这些大学的517名学生参加了该课程。我们学生的反馈明显是积极的。弗兰克 - 范·斯维滕讲座的为期三天的国际会议,即课程结束时所有学生都能相聚的活动,结果证明是该课程的一个重要组成部分。基于过去16年的经验,我们建议采用通用教材,就练习的等效临床领域达成一致,支持国际学生团体的组建,鼓励使用协作平台,确保课程质量管理,针对学生的不同知识水平进行教学,并确保为联合活动提供充足资金。
尽管需要付出相当大的额外努力,但我们可以明确建议开设这类健康信息系统国际课程,比如弗兰克 - 范·斯维滕讲座。
