-ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES:
-Graduate Courses at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB):
-. Strategic Planning and Evaluation for Health Information System (HI 630) (together
-with Mrs. Valeria M. Wilson, UAB Hospital Information Services): Today’s environment
-necessitates the development and execution of strategic plans for the management of infor-
-mation technologies.  As the health care industry re-engineers for an increasingly changing
-market, the recognition of information and its management as a critical resource will acceler-
-ate.  For survival, enterprises must be able to integrate information technology to support
-critical business objectives.  Strategies to ensure and measure their effectiveness and benefits
-will become a likely requirement in an environment of competing health care markets.
-. Health Information System Selection and Contract Negotiations (HI 625): The purpose
-of the course is to provide both the theory and, through simulated experiences, the practice in
-developing RFPs, evaluating vendor proposals, negotiating vendor software contracts, and
-preparing for the implementation of an information system. Students will be given the oppor-
-tunity to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for successfully acquiring and
-implementing a commercial information system and establishing a successful relationship
-with the vendor. In addition, we will examine how to respond to the numerous opportunities
-that the federal government provides to obtain grants and contracts (SBIR programs of NIH,
-DoD, NASA, DoE, etc. and the NIST Advanced Technology Program).
-. Managing Web-based Systems for Health Care (HI 606): This is a hands-on computer
-systems’ course designed to provide fundamental knowledge and concepts of modern infor-
-mation systems and to provide the skills to install, configure, and manage these information
-systems and components. The primary focus is on Web-based systems that form the basis of
-the next generation of information systems.
-. Introduction to Health Information Systems for Managers (HA 640): The purpose of this
-course is to provide administrators and managers an introduction and overview of informa-
-tion systems used in the health care industry. Effective use of clinical data and their quantita-
-tive analysis requires an understanding of how the data is captured during the process of pro-
-viding patient care. The course provides students with sufficient background to communicate
-effectively with technical personnel and provide general management oversight of informa-
-tion systems within health care organizations.
-. Administrative Leadership in Health Care (Health Informatics Module HA 640-OF)
-(team teaching with other HI faculty members): This module is a required component of the
-Executive M.S.H.A. degree program for physicians and health care professionals. It provides
-one week of intensive training in health informatics in Birmingham, AL and ten (10) weeks
-of remote follow-on training at their location of employment using e-mail and video-
-conferencing technologies. The contents of the course covers topics of health information

-systems and their information infrastructure, the use of computers in outcomes research, and
-in quality improvement processes.

-• Chair, IAIMS Workgroup on Informatics Research
-Graduate Courses in Medical Informatics at the University of Utah:
-. Advanced Networking and Communications Technologies for Health Information Sys-
-tems, (MDINF 6230) this graduate course addresses current networking for local and wide area
-networks. The topics include traditional networking technologies (Ethernet, Fast Ethernet,
-FDDI, SMDS, Frame Relay) and emerging technologies such as ATM (Asynchronous Transfer
-Mode), ADSL (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Loop), Gigabit Ethernet, ISDN (Integrated
-Services Digital Network), and wireless voice/data networks. Special emphasis is placed on
-technologies used by the world-wide-web.
-. Core Course in Medical Informatics: Systems Development Section (MDINF 6000) this
-section of three lectures provides an overview of and introduction to the architecture of health
-information systems and the development processes for health information systems. This in-
-cludes a discussion of the systems development life cycle and modern software engineering
-practices. The emphasis is on client/server and the new web-based systems. The goal is make
-students aware of the evolving object oriented software design tools to create event driven soft-
-ware interfaces, and reusable software components based on ActiveX and Java components.
-. Research Design in Medical Informatics (MDINF 6110), together with Aruna Bansal, Ph.D.)
-this course introduces Medical Informatics students in basic techniques for research and ex-
-perimental design, evaluations techniques of user interfaces and clinical information systems.
-Students must select a project, evaluate the appropriate literature, prepare research proposals,
-practice technical writing and presentation skills, familiarize themselves with reviewing manu-
-scripts and research proposals (e.g., the NIH grants review process) by evaluating and critiquing
-real manuscripts and research proposals. The student must defend the project in a seminar.
-. Web-Based Programming (MDINF 695-1, together with Dean Sorenson, Ph.D., Bruce Bray,
-M.D., and Jonathan Olson, BSCS), this experimental course provides students with a knowl-
-edge of current Internet technologies. The students will become familiar with applications de-
-velopment methods and skills necessary to create a functional web-based application.
-. AMIA Tutorials (1994, 1995, 1996, 1997): Emerging Communications Technologies for
-Health Information Systems, a 3-hour overview of current enterprise-wide networking tech-
-nologies, topologies, and management issues. Foundations of frame and cell switching tech-
-nologies (e.g., Frame Relay, SMDS, ATM); strategies for migrating from traditional networks
-(Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigagbit Ethernet) to ATM-based backbone. Wide-area communica-
-tions technologies (ISDN, Frame Relay, ATM, SONET), and advanced local loop technologies
-(ADSL, VDSL).

-Layer 3 and Layer 3 IP Switching); strategies for migrating from various Ethernet technologies
-to ATM-based networks in the LAN. WAN technologies (ISDN, Frame Relay, ATM, SONET),
-and advanced local loop technologies (ADSL, VDSL).
