	Objectives
	The course aims to provide students with the necessary skills to design and manage Clinical Information Systems (CISs) at strategic, tactical, and operational levels. It addresses key aspects such as planning, implementation, maintenance, integration, governance, security, and regulatory compliance. Starting from the software and architectural components of a healthcare information system, the course will continue with the study of reference standards for the classification and exchange of health data, and the challenges related to the sizing of the computing, networking, and storage infrastructure. Knowledge and Understanding Students will acquire knowledge of the architecture and components of a healthcare information system (such as CUP, ADT, LIS, RIS, PACS), as well as the performance requirements of each. The course will cover taxonomies and standards for the representation and exchange of clinical and patient data, including HL7, CDA, DICOM, and ICD-10. It will also address the characteristics of cloud services for e-health applications, principles of IT governance with particular attention to decision-making roles, risk management, and compliance with healthcare standards. Fundamental concepts related to performance, security, and sustainability of clinical IT systems will also be discussed, with attention to reliability, data protection, and business continuity. Applied Knowledge and Understanding Students will be able to integrate software components for mobile devices, PCs, and cloud platforms within a healthcare information system aimed at processing and exchanging clinical data. They will be able to apply principles of governance and risk management to ensure security, compliance, and service quality. In addition, they will acquire the ability to monitor and assess the performance of clinical information systems.
