Synopsis:

Effective operation of contemporary health facilities is not possible without a high degree of information technology integration and its impact will further increase in the future. This places high demands on all employees who must guarantee the operation of health care information systems and other database applications as well as perform advanced processing of huge amount of data produced by these systems using common office applications. The course introduces students with basic and advanced concepts and principals of information technologies and with advanced application of computer technology for storing, analysis and presentation of data. Students will also familiarize with architecture of computers and networks, structure of relational databases, data types and their storage and will also adopt basics of informational safety.
