Abstract

This study was conducted to collect data on the educational needs for hospital administrations and related departments to redesign the existing hospital information management and administration programs for Bachelor and Master degree students of medical informatics in one university. We surveyed the web sites and admission brochures of all the educational facilities of hospital administration related workers in Korea. We also surveyed hospital workers in hospital administration departments at three university affiliated hospitals using a questionnaire developed by the author. The survey results showed that most hospital employees indicated a need to take very fundamental classes in their fields. In order to satisfy the needs of the students up to date, the department of medicine in one university developed a new medical informatics course specially designed for Bachelor and Master degree students in hospital administration. In addition, the Graduate School of Industrial Information Engineering of one university decided to offer basic as well as a specialized training courses for the graduate students who are hospital administrators.
