As a class, students will examine the application of a social justice approach to a problem area or population. Individually, students will examine their own positionality related to social justice and will conduct a critical assessment of work in their own topic of research from a social justice standpoint. 

Prerequisites: NURSE 5610.

This course provides a basic introduction to health information technology across health care settings. Students will acquire an understanding of key concepts associated with health informatics and network models, systems and management strategies, health information strategic planning, clinical and public health application, data retrieval and analytics, public policy, research, and one's professional responsibility to protect electronic health care records. 

This is the third in a four-course sequence. It build upon the personal and interpersonal skills acquired in the first two block courses and focuses on effectiveness in human health outcomes. The student will discover that effectiveness in human health outcomes is a primary goal in the delivery of an optimum continuum of health care that encompasses health promotion, disease prevention and illness care across the lifespan. Achieving effectiveness in human health outcomes across the wellness-illness continuum and the individual-to-community continuum is contingent on acquiring an understanding of epidemiology, levels of care, communicable disease control, case management, theories applicable to aggregate populations, cultural competence, evidence-based care, and information technology.

Prerequisites: NURSE 482 (or co-requisite).
