	Objectives
	KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE COURSE IS TO ANALYZE IN SYSTEMIC, RELATIONAL AND SERVICE OPTIC THE OPERATIONS OF THE NATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM WITH A FOCUS ON INFORMATION MANAGEMENT WITHIN HEALTHCARE NETWORKS AIMED AT THE CO-CREATION OF VALUE IN HEALTH CARE. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE BASIC CONCEPTS, ESSENTIAL TECHNIQUES AND MODELS TO INTERPRET, ANALYZE AND UNDERSTAND AN OVERVIEW OF THE EVENTS AND INFORMATION IN HEALTH CARE. MAKING JUDGEMENTS STUDENTS WILL ACQUIRE THE ABILITY TO MAKE AUTONOMOUS JUDGMENTS REGARDING MANAGEMENT ISSUES, ALSO THROUGH THE ATTENDANCE AT PROBLEM BASED LEARNING ACTIVITIES. TO THIS AIM, BUSINESS TESTIMONIES AND CASE STUDIES ARE IMPORTANT TOOLS TO DEVELOP CRITICAL ANALYSIS SKILLS AFFECTING THE HEALTHCARE CONTEXT. COMMUNICATION SKILLS THE COURSE AIMS AT IMPROVING THE STUDENTS’ COMMUNICATIVE ABILITY, DEVELOPING PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON REINFORCING INDIVIDUAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS. MOREOVER THE STUDENTS WILL BE ENCOURAGED, WORKING INDIVIDUALLY OR IN GROUPS, TO EXPLOIT THE POTENTIAL WHICH SEVERAL COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES OFFER. LEARNING SKILLS BY MEANS OF THE THEORETICAL BACKGROUND ACQUIRED DURING THE COURSE, STUDENTS WILL BE IN A POSITION TO CRITICALLY ANALYSE BUSINESS MANAGEMENT PROCESS PHENOMENON METHODOLOGY AND TECHNIQUES OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH RESEARCH THE COURSE AIMS TO TEACH STUDENTS THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES FOR CRITICAL REFLECTION WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF RESEARCH IN NURSING. THE COURSE AIMS TO SHOW STUDENTS THE PROCESS OF RESEARCH IN ALL PHASES THAT MAKE IT UP, HIGHLIGHTING THE DIFFERENCES INHERENT IN THE DIFFERENT TYPES AND METHODS OF RESEARCH: EXPERIMENTAL, QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL, OBSERVATIONAL (DESCRIPTIVE AND ANALYTICAL) - BASIC AND APPLIED RESEARCH - THE PHASES OF THE RESEARCH PROCESS - CLASSIFICATION OF THE SEARCH BASED ON TIME. THE MODULE SOCIOLOGY AIMS TO MAKE THE STUDENTS THE MAIN TOOLS FOR THE PREPARATION OF A RESEARCH PROJECT QUALITY AND QUANTITY, APPLICABLE TO SPECIFIC AREAS OF EXPERTISE NURSING, WITH A FOCUS ON METHODS OF EBM, EBN, EBP, EBHC AND NBM.
