Course objectives (in Czech)
Předmět je koncipován jako úvodní a prakticky orientovaný kurz zaměřený na širokou oblast aplikace analýzy dat a informačních technologií v medicíně. Důraz je kladen na řízení a správu dat klinických studií a základní aspekty provozní informatiky zdravotnických zařízení. V oblasti analýzy dat student projde teoretickým výkladem základů jednorozměrných a vícerozměrných metod a seznámí se s problematikou optimalizace experimentálních plánů. Důraz je kladen i na praktickou stránku výuky a veškeré výpočetní techniky jsou procvičovány s pomocí běžně dostupných softwarových nástrojů (Statistica for Windows, SPSS). Studenti budou podrobně seznámeni se všemi aspekty správy a hodnocení dat klinických studií, především stanovení nutné velikosti vzorku, nastavení pravidel managementu dat, randomizace při náběru pacientů, průběžné a závěrečné statistické hodnocení. Aplikace informačních technologií se zaměřují na obecné principy přístupu uživatele k výpočetním zdrojům a konkretizují je vždy na různých implementacích počítačových sítí. Posluchač získá teoretické a praktické poznatky z oblasti tvorby a správy databází a naučí se prakticky využívat dnes běžně přístupné zdroje místních počítačových systémů, jejich sítí a jajeich připojení k Internetu. V průběhu kurzu budou posluchači rovněž zdokonaleni v užívání produktů MS Office.
