Health Technology Implementation and Utilization
A practice-oriented program for health technology professionals and social and healthcare professionals who lead health technology adoption within their own organization, whether through managing the process, overseeing implementation, or handling the associated risks.
Adopting health technology in a social and healthcare organization is a planned, stepwise process that connects broadly to an organization's operations, management, information security, and daily work. Successful adoption calls for the ability to define needs and make well-founded procurement decisions. It also requires skilled change leadership and staff engagement, along with information security and data protection maintained across the entire lifecycle. This training offers a current, practical overview of how health technology adoption can be carried out systematically across different settings, such as hospitals and primary healthcare.
