Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide the basic elements of Medical Informatics as a discipline. Medical Informatics can be seen as the "logic" of healthcare, or as the rational study of the entire process of patient care. Students will then learn the basic elements of healthcare organization in Italy and abroad and the problems related to the representation of medical information. The course will develop along two lines: the study of issues related to the exchange of data and information in health care information systems and finally on learning MATLAB, and XML. At the end of the course the student will have acquired the basic skills necessary to understand what are the tasks and activities of information systems in health care
