Assessment Description

Students are to choose an individual healthcare organisation that is a leader in the adoption of technology to help it meet its strategic and operational objectives. Students will describe the benefits and difficulties that the organisation has experienced with the different technologies and provide an insight in what technologies may be utilised in the future.

Students present their analysis as a 15-minute pre-recorded webinar, aimed at staff of an organisation within the given segment. The organisation must be real and be able to be researched to provide the information required. It does not have to be in Australia.

- The various stakeholder groups and their perspectives on medical technology acquisition and utilisation
- The challenges and opportunities presented by using medical technology
- Ethical responsibilities in relation to the use of medical technologies

Students are encouraged to explore and adopt features of webinar technologies and to include a wide range of multimedia and/or interactive content, such as:

- Short interviews with stakeholders
- Information presented visually, such as photographs, charts and diagrams
- Patient or carer testimonials
- Project or implementation issues that attracted media attention
