In this subject, you will explore the functions of health information and its technologies in the contexts of system and organisational governance for safety and quality.

There are case-based foci on: health information and technology governance; digital health; accreditation system and information requirements; and the impacts of organisational, clinical and managerial information-related actions and systems on clinical risk and quality management.
