Leo, this looks great. How do non MIT students attend this course?

Om

Hi, Om,
Non-MIT students can complete a Cross-Registration Petition form, obtain the
signatures of the course instructor (Hamish or myself), and submit the signed
form to the MIT Registrar's Office by the earlier of the two schools'
Add/Drop/Change deadlines.
As I mentioned in my email, we will be recording all the sessions and posting
them online as soon as we can on the Sana website (www.sanamobile.org) and later
on the MIT Open CourseWare website.
We need input from the eHealth global community with regard to the project-based
course we are planning for the fall term.

Cheers,
Leo

Thanks Leo for this information. Are students in this course required to submit a project as part of a group or individually?

Joe

Yes, Joe.
We're actually brainstorming on the 17th with the IHI Developing Countries team
as regards the projects that the students are required to hand in at the end of
the semester. We are toying with the idea of analyzing some real data set,
identifying a problem based on the analysis and designing a system to address
the problem. The students will also describe their implementation approach.
Will they be using PDSA cycles? Positive Deviance approach? checklists? The
goal would be for the students to write a paper that is publishable.

Cheers,
Leo

Thanks Leo for information, I am in Tanzania and interested in the course I may not be able to attend. I will be waiting for the videos.

The Reede Scholars in Minority Health Policy at HMS will host a symposium on May 12th with a focus on how HIT can reduce health disparities. Your course is very timely and looking forward to recripocating our information.

Some people in our hospital may also like to take this course.

Perfect timing for a program like this. Global demand is all time high.

If the students need labs, we have lots of opportunities for them in the Philippines.

Hi Alvin, thanks for the offer. We will be putting together some example projects and would like to include some from different regions and organizations. It would be great to work with you and your excellent team on this if possible. As Leo says, we hope that this will help to stimulate new approaches and designs that will inform subsequent courses.

Yes, I would love to see an MIT curriculum being implemented in various locales by different teams sharing insights and views. Then the international faculty revises the curriculum as the experiences from the ground come in.

I see that Chaitali Sinha of IDRC is in the faculty roster. We would be happy if our PANACeA network (established by IDRC with AKU) can work together to some extent with the MIT program...

Slightly off topic, but folks may be interested in the following Global Health Informatics seminar series at University of Washington this quarter. http://tinyurl.com/MEBI591C-W11

WMVs of slides and audio to posted at that site, similar to what we did last quarter...

This seminar followed on the Public Health Informatics series last quarter. Recorded content also posted. http://tinyurl.com/MEBI591C-F10

We are interested in quality improvement projects more generally and would certainly welcome working with MVP.

The course and partnership sounds very interesting. If you would like any collaborative project, do not hesitate to contact me. I work in many health information system projects and also I give the course on that subject at the National University of Costa Rica for Epidemiology Master Degree.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Leo,

I graduated from the Harvard School of Public Health last year, and I am currently working on a number of HIST projects. Is there any way that I can register for this course if I am not currently a student? When is the deadline for registration?

I reminder that we are starting the course "Health information systems to improve quality of care in resource poor settings" (HST.184) at MIT tomorrow February 4th. It will be held every Friday from 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM at room 155 of the MIT Stata Center.

We are delighted to have the first lecture from Dr Joia Mukherjee the Medical Director of Partners in Health.

The course is being co-lead by Leo Celi at Sana, me (Hamish Fraser) at PIH, Peter Szolovits at MIT and Brandon Bennett at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.

Hi, everyone,
We've started posting the lectures from the MIT course on health information
systems to improve quality of care in resource-poor settings. The first two
lectures are already online, and two more will be uploaded by the end of this
week.

Hi, Joseph,
This is an ongoing course at MIT through May.
We are hoping to offer a project-based course next fall (September through December) where students from Boston partner with students from other countries in designing and implementing health information systems to address information gaps and improve the care delivery process.  We are in the process of planning this course.
Cheers,
Leo
