It has become essential and critical for professionals in the healthcare and healthcare-related IT industry to understand basic and recent advances in computer and info-communications technology in health and medicine.  How are hospitals exploiting health informatics tools to deliver cost-effective and efficient care?  How are clinicians deploying IT tools for better and safer patient care? How are patients benefiting from better quality of care through IT innovations? How do we comprehend quality measures and standards from the use of these tools?  Most importantly, how do we measure the impact of these initiatives have on patient health, outcomes and cost?

The 5-day course, known officially as the Executive Medical Informatics Course, is
a collaboration by the SGH Post Graduate Medical Institute (PGMI), SGH Infotech and Gateway Consulting Pte Ltd.   The Course will enable participants to get a better understanding of how health informatics today can bring about higher value quality of delivery in the healthcare marketplace.
