HINF 351

Information Technology Procurement

Units: 1.5, Hours: 3-0

The methodologies and processes used to select Information Technology (IT) will be investigated, primarily as they apply to Regional Health Authorities (RHA). The primary goal is to appreciate the dynamics and compromises that take place, particularly when a RHA procures IT to support patient care. Students will be encouraged to think from a clinical point of view, as opposed to taking a more technical perspective.

Note: Credit will be granted for only one of 351, 451.
