that are typically used in health care settings.
The course emphasizes surveys and
their application to managerial decisions.
HSMG 691 Health Planning and
Program Evaluation (3)This course
explains the theoretical and historical foundations
of health planning; the relationship
between health planning and regulation;
and the application of planning methods.
HSMG 695 Health Care Management
Information Systems (3) This course provides
an extensive overview of information
systems in health care organizations from
the perspective of health systems managers.
HSMG 752 Internship (3)The internship
serves to build a bridge between theory and
practice; students have the opportunity to
apply their knowledge and acquire insights
into the management ofhealth service
organizations.
HSMG 766 Health Systems Management:
Organizational Design and
Human Resources (3)This course builds
on PUAO 755 and provides an in-depth
examination oforganizational design theories,
their applicability to various health
care settings, and their implications for
human resources and labor relations.
Interaction Design and
Information Architecture (lOlA)
IDIA 610 Programming for Information
Architecture (3)* Introduces students to
forms oflogical analysis and symbolic
structure that underlie programming languages,
network architectures, and other
information systems. Students learn how
regular, cyclical, and recursive processes can
be adapted ro solve problems of interaction
and communication. Assignments use a
current programming or scripting language,
such as Java or Peri, to teach basic
concepts and procedures. Prerequisite:
PBDS 660 or a passing score on the
Hypermedia Proficiency Exam.' Lab fee
required.
IDIA 612 Interaction and Interface
Design (3) Explores electronic publication
environments as fluid spaces where interactions
among people, machines, and media
(words, images, sounds, video, animations,
simulations) must be structured for the
unforeseen. The course focuses on planning,
analyzing, prototyping, and integrating
interaction design with interface
design. Prerequisite: PBDS 660 or a passing
score on the Hypermedia Proficiency Exam.
Lab fee required.
IDIA 614 Sequential Visualization and
Analysis (3) Teaches students to use
sequential visual narratives-story boards,
flowcharts, prototypes, and simulations-as
analysis tools for the development of information
systems. The course draws on theoretical
approaches to film as well as other
forms of visual storytelling including animation,
illustration, and comics. Through
a series of practical analytical and creative
projects, students learn to apply story
boards and limited multimedia prototypes
both to interface design and to content
development. Prerequisite: PBDS 660 or a
passing score on the Hypermedia Proficiency
Exam. Lab fee required.
IDIA 616 Hypermedia Production (3)
Hands-on investigation of strategies and
problem solving techniques involved in the
production of practical interactive publications.
Students work intensively on a major
electronic publishing project. Prerequisite:
PBDS 660 or a passing score on the Hypermedia
Proficiency Exam. Lab fee required.
IDIA 618 Dynamic Web Sites (3)
Familiarizes students with the basic concepts
and vocabulary ofWeb site programming,
including application scripting,
database management, object-oriented programming,
and full-lifecycle software development.
lr provides students with the
fundamental skills required to develop and
