  • Campus: Bologna
  • Corso: Second cycle degree programme (LM) in Digital Innovation Policies and Governance (cod. 5889)

Learning outcomes

The course aims to provide students with the conceptual and analytical tools necessary to understand the implications on health policies arising from the increasing availability of large databases and sophisticated tools for their analysis, as well as the growing diffusion of digital technology tools also available to citizens and patients. At the end of the course, the student will be able to: understand the role and impact of the use of digital technologies in health care systems; understand the ways in which big data and digitalisation can provide tools to support public policies in achieving efficiency and equity objectives in health care systems; develop a critical analysis of some of the main recent experiences of these applications, understanding their potentialities, limitations and possible areas of development.

Course contents

Insights into specific digital transformation experiences will examine both the expected benefits as well as the possible unintended consequences of such initiatives, with a focus on a rigorous empirical evaluation of the effects of digital transformation on the performance of healthcare systems. The detailed course programme will be provided during the lectures and will be available on: http://iol.unibo.it.
