NUR 680 - Integrating Big Data to Evaluate Population Health


This course will focus on available sources of population data, how to access them, and begin to explore geographic regions through data. Students will be introduced to the field of Biomedical Informatics. Innovative tools developed at Stony Brook by informaticians to evaluate population health will be presented. Students will learn how to use data to identify populations at risk: who they are, where they live and to identify key focus areas to target intervention. With this knowledge students will be able to outline programs that may reduce health disparities, as well as evaluate other health risks in regional populations.
