| Summary | This course provides both the knowledge and skills to allow graduates to undertake the role of domain experts liaising between end users and IT developers to create successful Healthcare Information Systems. Both a national and international perspective is taken in examining the influence UML has had on system development. On completion of the course, by way of assessment, the course students will have developed, and critically evaluated a high level design document using UML (Use case, class, sequence, and state diagrams) with the aid of a UML CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) tool. |
