B0083 - POLITICHE SANITARIE E TRASFORMAZIONE DIGITALE

Course contents

This course is designed to equip students with essential skills for evaluating the primary implications of health policies arising from the increasing availability of extensive databases and advanced analytical tools, as well as the growing dissemination of digital technologies accessible to both citizens and patients. Upon completion of the course, students will have acquired advanced knowledge in the following research areas:

- the role and impact of digital technologies in healthcare;

- the ways in which big data and digitalization can provide tools to support public policies in achieving efficiency and equity objectives within healthcare systems;

- the potentialities, limitations, and possible areas of development in the use of these technologies and data for health policy.

Assessment methods

Assessment will be based on the presentation of an assigned reading and a final written exam.

The maximum possible score is 30 cum laude, and the grade is graduated as follows:

<18 failed

24-27 good
28-30 very good
