About HCM101 — Fundamentals of Electronic Health Records

This course explores the growing significance of Information Technology (IT) in healthcare, leading to the emergence of Health Informatics. Health Informatics focuses on utilizing IT to enhance healthcare services, often involving the management of individuals' digital health records known as Electronic Health Records (EHRs). To ensure interoperability among health informatics applications, various standards have been proposed, including structural standards, data content standards, data exchange standards, and security standards. Many countries have initiated national EHR infrastructure programs, which necessitate understanding healthcare standards, coding systems, and frameworks. This course addresses the need for studying existing research and consolidating knowledge in these areas to facilitate the development and promotion of health informatics applications. By providing an overview of Health Informatics Standards, Healthcare Coding Systems, and Standard Healthcare Frameworks, the course equips learners with the foundations necessary for designing and developing interoperable healthcare systems and applications.
