Why join this course?
Development of
technology and provision of data communication systems and networks
to support telehealth has been explosive. This has resulted in
organizations interested in starting Telehealth centers, finding it
difficult to recruit personnel with necessary blend of technical,
medical and managerial skills. This certificate course in Telehealth
Technology is designed to meet these needs. Dramatic changes in
delivery of healthcare are occurring, driven by economic, political
and consumer will. An ageing population, improved healthcare
methods, and greater expectations are increasing the demands on the
health service. The current healthcare model cannot meet these
demands. This is leading to the concept of providing a greater level
of service nearer to the patient, in the community. The widespread
introduction of networks will fuel this increase. This course is
designed to anticipate the demand for people with skills to deliver
and manage these new healthcare delivery systems. The objective
is to provide the health and industry sectors with people skilled to
understand the design, selection, procurement, installation,
management, maintenance, and evaluation of telehealth systems
appropriate to present and future needs. More Telehealth centers are
likely to open in India and other countries both in the public and
private sector. This course being the first formal course of its
kind in Asia, employment opportunities are bright.
