About this subject
In this subject, you learn theories and techniques, including approaches to problem-solving, for managing a Health Information Service (HIS). Areas of focus include: professional issues; health information strategic planning; staffing practices including recruitment, training, performance appraisal and management; staff motivation and management; departmental financial and budgetary management; workplace legislation specific to the HIS's human and operational resources; sociotechnical issues; and the strategic management of change brought about by health information and communications technologies. This subject draws together many components of the course, giving you the opportunity to synthesise critical and emerging theory in the contexts of health technological and policy developments, and to consolidate your HIS and health information management knowledge. You will also explore some theory behind organisational behaviour to facilitate the development of leadership skills providing both vision and direction for the service and team being managed.
