Diploma in Health Statistics (Tertiary) Entry Requirement

INTRODUCTION

Data is everywhere, and it affects not only how businesses and institutions are run, but how we live as individuals and as a nation. Understanding the ways to leverage big data in our professional lives will help the nation find key insights, make smarter decisions
and elevate policy formulation in Ghana. Therefore, the Diploma in Health Statistics is expected to produce health data experts to fill vacancies in available jobs that cannot be filled due to lack of supply in the country. Health Statistics professionals design and manage health information systems, with special attention to quality and privacy of health information, in a wide range of settings such as hospitals, managed and ambulatory care, insurance and pharmaceutical companies, consulting firms, and public health organisations. This programme in Health Statistics prepares professionals responsible for developing, managing and safeguarding
the most confidential patient data, including medical histories, laboratory test reports, diagnoses, treatment plans, insurance information, medications, and the notes of doctors and nurses. They work as a critical link between doctors, insurance providers and patients; they manage health records in a way that is consistent with the clinical, fiscal, administrative, ethical and legal requirements. Health Statistics graduates will gain the competency which will enable them to effectively interact with other healthcare
professionals and administrators and provide healthcare data for patient care, research, quality improvement, strategic planning,
reimbursement, and related managerial functions. The graduates will be equipped with the relevant knowledge and skills to 
innovatively analyse, design, implement, and evaluate health data. Like other institutions, which offer degrees in Health Information Management (HIM), this programme will prepare graduates to be professionals with expertise in managing patient health information and medical records, administering computer information systems, and coding the diagnoses and procedures for healthcare services provided to patients. However, the uniqueness in this programme is that our graduates will acquire expertise in disease surveillance, spatial epidemiology and all accompanying public health geographical information system applications in the development, analysis and interpretation of disease maps. Attention will be given to the creation of interactive health facility and patient location digital maps connected to the relevant databases or medical information.
 

AIM, OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES

The main aim of the Diploma in Health Statistics programme is to produce health statistics professionals (health data experts) who will be ready to use modern methods to design and manage health information systems, with special attention to quality and privacy of health information, in a wide range of settings such as hospitals, managed and ambulatory care, insurance and pharmaceutical companies, consulting firms, and public health organisations that cannot be filled due to inadequate supply in the country.

Objectives
