CS 6440 Syllabus

Introduction to Health Informatics (CS 6440) is designed so that students with a variety of
backgrounds can gain basic proficiency in health informatics. Health informatics encompasses
the application of computing to: healthcare delivery; population and public health; community-
based clinical research; and the potential for big data and analytics to transform the field. This
is distinct from the related field of bioinformatics, which explores the role of computing in
understanding the genomic and proteomic processes within cells.

During CS 6440, students will explore health information technology through projects designed
to provide a hands-on experience with state-of-the-art health informatics tools and systems
such HL7 FHIR, SMART, CDS Hooks, OMOPonFHIR, OHDSI Atlas, OMOP CDM and more!. They
will apply the knowledge and skills they learn to work individually and with a team of their
classmates on a real-world clinical challenges.
