Standardized competencies for consumer health informatics (CHI) courses are needed. Experts identified key areas including CHI definition, health literacy
Area of Science:
- Digital health
- Consumer Health Informatics (CHI)
Background:
- Digital health technology is rapidly advancing in healthcare.
- Existing Consumer Health Informatics (CHI) courses lack standardized graduate competencies.
- The evolving digital landscape necessitates clear learning objectives.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop core competencies for introductory graduate-level CHI courses.
- To establish a standardized curriculum framework for CHI education.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the eDelphi method for expert consensus.
- Conducted a comprehensive literature review and analysis of current teaching methods.
- Assembled and consulted an expert advisory panel through an iterative feedback process.
Main Results:
- Identified key areas for CHI curriculum: defining CHI and its applications.
- Highlighted the importance of understanding health literacy and numeracy in design.
- Emphasized analyzing how information platforms impact consumer outcomes and decision-making.
Conclusions:
- Core competencies for CHI courses have been identified through expert consensus.
- These competencies provide a foundation for standardized graduate-level CHI education.
- The developed competencies address critical aspects of digital health and consumer engagement.
