Please note that at this stage we are only able to offer non award courses for the purpose of professional development although they do all meet Higher Education (University) educational standards so that it may be possible to obtain credit transfers. All formal assessments will be offered as separate courses.

If you have a specific industry based educational need please let us know. We have access to many expert Health Informaticians from around the globe, refer to the latest HI textbook (Hovenga et al 2010). This enables us to prepare courses to meet such needs.

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) contain clinical information that care providers and consumers need to be able to make use of for safe and high quality personal health care. This information needs to be stored securely, be accessible to authorised persons and be in a valid and reliable computer processable format not only to enhance individual care but also to enable valid automation of all health reporting, epidemiological and public health monitoring, statistical health policy analysis and evaluation. eHealth Education provides you with the necessary knowledge and understanding of how information, telecommunication and knowledge management technologies may be used for these purposes.
