Overview

Health services in Australia, as in most countries, are experiencing a surge of interest and investment in e-health. The Master of Health Informatics is designed to provide IT professionals with specific knowledge of health informatics and provide health professionals with a better understanding of IT within their industry.

You will study core subjects in knowledge engineering, introduction to health informatics, security essentials, concepts and issues in healthcare computing, information visualisation and decision support, and system analysis and project management. Depending on your previous qualifications, you will complete subjects from either an information technology or health specialisation. You will also complete a professional practice and research project.

On graduation you will be equipped to:

  • develop national and state-wide strategies for departments of health;
  • manage major health informatics projects within and between organisations;
  • provide leadership in health informatics in public and private hospitals, with health system vendors, telecommunications providers and pharmaceutical companies.
