About this subject
In this subject you will develop a specialist working knowledge of health data standards; health data collections; government, insurance and other sectoral health data reporting requirements, and the relationship between these and health service measurement and financing. Models of Activity-Based Funding, including case mix-based systems, and their underpinning reporting and analysis requirements are studied. The pivotal role of the Health Information Manager within all of these arrangements is addressed. You will develop an understanding of the policy and funding frameworks for public and private health services and supporting clinical costing and modelling methods. You will develop competency in health data analytics, and analysis and reporting of hospital and health service utilisation statistics and published health data. Case studies inform your learning of these concepts and your analyses of morbidity, mortality, clinical, productivity and health service data. This subject includes synchronous sessions held during business hours. This means that you will attend sessions each week simultaneously with your facilitator and classmates. This subject is recommended for second-year undergraduate students, and for students who have completed all first-year subjects in the Bachelor of Health Information Management.
