Health Data Science - Process & Analysis Med Info

Catalog description

Medical information systems (MIS) are essential tools of modern medicine. Healthcare data scientists must construct MIS and process the information contained in MIS. This course provides an overview of current MIS, such as electronic health record systems, clinical decision support systems, and medical imaging systems. The course will focus on theories and methodologies that support MIS construction and information processing as well as analysis, including artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning, knowledge representation and uncertainty reasoning, natural language processing, statistics, and medical imaging. At the end of this course, students will understand how these methodologies work and how to use these methodologies to construct MIS, process information and analyze data. Prerequisite: DATA 819 and DATA 881, or permission of instructor.
