Description of the background
Involvement of health care professionals, IT-users, patients and relatives in change processes has been on the agenda for years.
Participatory methods for design, evaluation and implementation of health informatics is a diverse collection of principles and practices aimed at making IT systems and health care institutions more responsive to user needs. A central principle of participatory methods is the direct involvement of the intended actors and/or beneficiaries in the activities of design, evaluation and implementation of health informatics systems.
The objective of the course is to introduce and discuss important theories and methodological approaches to participation in health informatics.
The students will also take part in practical exercises to train methods and principles for participatory design, - evaluation, and - implementation. A number of international scholars will present their experience from specific participatory design projects.
Furthermore the participating PhD students will present their studies and get feedback from a panel of international experts.
