| Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit: | |||
| Learn and think critically about information and communication technologies (ICTs) role in healthcare. Mastering the concepts and main foundations of E-health, mHealth and information systems and the strategic management of health information. Develop students' understanding of the role of ICTs and information systems in healthcare organizations and its relationship with their different audiences. Promote the acquisition of knowledge and skills: within the scope of user guidance in the electronic health record; in the use of health information systems; in the field of telemedicine (in the administrative point of view); about mHealth. | |||

| Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives: | |||
| To ensure proper knowledge and understanding of theoretical texts about ICTs, E-health, mHealth and information systems, as well as a critical and reflective understanding of the field of knowledge, the first part of the program focuses on the study of theoretical concepts, as well as its background. Regarding the application of knowledge, the second part of the program ensures the mastery of tools for creating content. | |||
| Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation): | |||
| The syllabus will have a theoretical treatment (supplemented through various readings, expository methodology, interrogative and demonstrative), and a practical treatment (through execution, presentation and discussion in class of practical business cases and applied (practical classes). This requires the correct application of theoretical knowledge and its proper communication, enhancing the ability of self-learning. The evaluation method is based on the continuous evaluation model and includes a written test [corresponding to 50% (fifty percent) of the grade], micro practical individual works with corresponding oral presentation [corresponding to 40% (forty percent) of the grade], and the quality of participation in classes and tutorial sessions [corresponding to 10% (ten percent) of the grade]. | |||
| Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes: | |||
| The teaching methods aim to acquire a mix of core concepts and practical application thereof. For this reason it favors a theoretical-practical, using case studies. Students are asked to produce a number of selected practical assignments to test their ability with digital artifacts. | |||
