   Contents
Topic Sub-topic
Biomedical data challenges to manage global health 1.- Health concept. Health as a citizen right. Health as key factor in the economic development
2.- Sustainable development goals of the UN for 2030
World Health Organization (WHO) and the role of Health authorities in the member states.
3.- Data challenges for a global health scope. Morbidity and mortality of human population. Differences between developed and underdeveloped countries. Chronic conditions. From disease statistics towards Precision Medicine.
4.- The WHO-FIC (Family of International Classifications): its role and ongoing activities on coding and classification
Biomedical data challenges to manage healthcare organizations 1.- Strategic challenges of collaboration in healthcare organizations and the role of biomedical science in their solving.
- Challenges of collaboration at the level of organization.
- Challenges of collaboration at the level of stakeholders:
- Challenges of collaboration at macro level and macro factors, that affect healthcare organizations
- Biomedical data technologies and methods that can help to deal with challenges of collaboration
2.- Business process reengineering in public and private healthcare organizations based on data analytics: problems and decisions
- Business process reengineering in healthcare organizations.
- Business Process Models and Notations and its implementation in healthcare organizations
- Using LEAN-approach in business process reengineering in healthcare organizations.
Biomedical data challenges to share data and information among organizations 1.- Standardization of medical language: problems in medical terminology, generalities of terminological resources in biomedicine
2.- SNOMED CT: logical model, concept model, reference sets, drug modelling
3.- International Classification of Diseases (ICD): ICD-10/ICD-10-CM, ICD-11, DRG, Minimum Basic Data Set
4.- LOINC: general overview, coding.
5.- Semantic interoperability: definition, difficulties with the sharing of health information, health information standards (EN/ISO 13606, OpenEHR, FHIR)
Biomedical data challenges on quality assessment of data 1.- What is data quality?. You have data, but it's not usable yet. You transform data into information. Furthermore, you obtain knowledge. In addition, you make an informed decision.
2.- Characteristics of Data Quality. Accuracy. Completeness. Relevance Consistency. Accessibility. Timeliness
3.- Data Quality Analysis. Data Quality Management. Data Quality Metrics. Missing values. Inconsistent values. Wrong information due to data errors (manual/automated). Wrong metadata information
4. Data Quality Tools. Software tools for biomedical data quality analyzing. SPSS, R, R-studio, Statistics, MathCAD, Mathematics etc. Examples, datasets for studies.
