Obiettivi e contenuti del corso
5-10 righe
Mission Medical Informatics is an interdisciplinary subject, involving Information and Communication Technology, that combines Life and Health Sciences with Computers Science, Management, Engineering and Statistics. It aims at helping to solve situations in management of care processes, bio-medical and drug research, medical and clinical decision making.
In the course Medical Informatics [1], the basic topics of health-care information and communication technologies are described for both the clinical and the bio-medical research settings.

Standards for Medical Informatics. Definition of standard and standard lifecycle. Description of Standard Organizations for the Medical Informatics and the Electrical fields at Italian, European and International level. Examples of standards for the Medical Informatics field: the standard for Blood Transfusion Services, the standard proposal for Vital Signs Information, the Digital Image and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) standard. Activities in the laboratory The activities in the laboratory equipped with personal computers are common to the two modules “1 – Instruments”(Medical Informatics [1]) and “2 – Processes” (Medical Informatics [2]) that compose the integrated course and aim at developing an elective project on “Medical Informatics” subjects. Subjects considered in the laboratory are: Design, implementation and querying of medical and clinical databases; Digital clinical records for the institutions and for the patient; Healthcare smart cards; Consumer health informatics.

Organizzazione del corso e modalità di verifica
1-10 righe. (è importante: segnalare se esami scritti/orali, se prova in itinere e quanto ritenuto necessario a chiarire le modalità d’esame).
The attendance to the lessons and laboratory sessions is strongly recommended.
The evaluation does not include Mid-term test.
The written final exam is based on the topics of this syllabus.
The written final exam is mandatory.
The ability of comprehensively describing in written form the course topics, using the appropriate terms and giving attention to the relevant conceptual aspects, is a fundamental element for a positive evaluation.
For the Integrated course, the final exam is organized as it follows: a first part relates on Medical Informatics [1], a second part on Medical Informatics [2]
The elective laboratory project contributes to the formulation of the final evaluation.
