    About the Course

    Improving health and healthcare institutions requires understanding of data and creation of interventions at the many levels at which health IT
    interact and affect the institution. These levels range from the external “world” in which the institution operates down to the specific
    technologies. Data scientists find that, when they aim at implementing their models in practice, it is the “socio” components that are both novel

    Class is a pretty good introduction to the subject. The quizzes, though, often focus on minutia and the material could be better organized. I also wish there was more written material that I could review during and following the class.

    No doubt an excellent foundation for the remaining four cousrses. The content really puts health informatics in perscpective and provides a solid organizational context for applying informatics. It's not just about the data.

    Probably the best course on Coursera on the subject. One star deducted because I don't find the lectures particularly engaging, the focus is too much on the USA, and the quizzes and assignments could be improved.

    Es un gran curso! El concepto principal "The Stack" que se aprende es una herramienta fantástica para tener una mirada integral de un proyecto en el área de sistemas de información en salud.

    The final peer review project helped make sense of the preceding 4 weeks. That was the bit I enjoyed the most.

    The structure and materials were very repetitive and it was challenging to stay focused. It was very much a recorded college lecture and not very engaging.

    More interactive quizzes and discussions would be helpful as just plain lectures and quizzes. Course 2 is a great example to follow that is more engaging.
