HEALTH STATEMENT
The Word Health Organization (WHO) declared that the social determinants of health, such as employment,
ethnicity, and education are responsible for about 50% of health outcomes. Recognizing these influencers,
in the Bachelor of Health, you will learn how the social, cultural, and biological determinants of health,
combined with the management of health and healthcare systems, impacts people, communities, and
organizations. To help overcome systemic biases, we endeavor to center the voices of Indigenous,
racialized, and queer people. Bachelor of Health students are expected to carefully consider how diverse
information improves the biomedical model of health.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Calendar Description
This course introduces the role that data analytics plays in health organizations. Students will gain basic
knowledge for simple data manipulation, querying, and visualization. They will then see the possibilities in
data analytics, including key components of the data analytics process and case studies where it was
applied, with the goal of being able to work with a data scientist on more complex data analytics projects.
The ethical approaches to handling medical information will also be discussed. The cou rse is not IT-
intensive but requires basic proficiency in Excel.

Course Pre-Requisites
STAT 2263 (or equivalent), HEAL 1001, and HEAL 1002; or permission of the instructor.

Course Outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to
1. Discuss the role of data analytics in a health care setting (e.g., quality and performance);
2. Describe the tools and techniques that health care organizations use for data analytics;
3. Describe techniques to communicate results and insights gained from simple data analyses;
4. Describe and visualize data more efficiently;
5. Design or revise visuals more effectively;
6. Improve oral and written communication skills by practicing presenting and communicating results

GENERAL COURSE INFORMATION

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
The University of New Brunswick is committed to providing a positive learning and working environment,
one in which all members of its community are respectful and respected as individuals. We strive to foster a
welcoming and supportive community, where every person feels empowered to contribute. The University
of New Brunswick has a Declaration of Rights and Responsibilities.
https://www.unb.ca/humanrights/_assets/documents/declaration.pdf

UNB embraces the idea of an intellectual community enriched by diversity along a number of dimensions,
including gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, culture, ability, race, ethnicity, language, religion,
and nationality. It is my intent that all students be well served by this course, that students' learning needs
be addressed both in and out of class, and that the diversity students bring to this class be viewed as a
resource, strength, and benefit. I intend to provide materials and activities that are respectful of diversity.
Your suggestions are encouraged and appreciated. In addition, if any of our class meetings conflict with
your religious holidays, please let me know so that alternative arrangements can be made for you.

UNB’s Duty to Accommodate

Academic accommodations for students with disabilities are provided by the Student Accessibility Centre. If
you are a student with a disability and would like to discuss potential accommodations, you are encouraged
to contact Ken Craft, Student Accessibility Centre Coordinator. Ken can be reached at [email protected] or
648-5690.

Policy on Missed Tests, Due Dates, and Late Submissions

There will be no make-up D2L quizzes. If you miss completing a quiz by the deadline, then a grade of zero
will be applied to that quiz. To accommodate the many reasons that may lead to not completing a D2L Quiz
(e.g., illness, appointments, etc.), the lowest mark will be dropped at the end of the term.

If you are to miss a due date, I need to be advised before the scheduled due date (e.g., in person, by phone,
by email). Only valid reasons will be accepted. A 25% reduction in grade will be applied to all late
submissions up to 24 hours from the due date, after which the assessment will not be marked and a grade
of zero will be applied.

Attendance Protocol
Although we will not take attendance, it is essential to your learning. Each class we may do both formal
(handed in) and informal (not handed in) assignments and activities. If you are not in class, you will miss
important material.

Desire 2 Learn

Plagiarism and Academic Offences

The purpose of education is to acquire knowledge, develop skills, and to grow as an individual. In order to
achieve these goals one needs to approach one’s courses in an honest manner. This requires individuals to
submit work that is their own creation. Students often wonder why documenting their sources and
maintaining a high level of academic integrity is so important, and why failure to do so is taken so seriously.
Work undertaken at university is part of a centuries-long conversation. All work builds on that of your
predecessors. Documenting your sources recognizes the efforts of others and places your contribution within
the conversation. Therefore, your documentation/integrity shows courtesy for your sources and for your
reader. - Ken Craft
The university has carefully defined what it considers plagiarism, and these regulations are found in the
UNB calendar section B.19 IX Academic Offences.

Plagiarism includes:
1. quoting verbatim or almost verbatim from any source, regardless of format, without
acknowledgement;
2. adopting someone else's line of thought, argument, arrangement, or supporting evidence (such as,
statistics, bibliographies, etc.) without indicating such dependence;
3. submitting someone else's work, in whatever form (essay, film, workbook, artwork, computer
materials, etc.) without acknowledgement;
4. knowingly representing as one's own work any idea of another
Note: In courses which include group work, a penalty may be imposed on all members of the group unless
an act of plagiarism is identified clearly with an individual student or students.
Please note that plagiarism is not difficult to spot; web sources can be quickly traced through a variety of
specialty search engines. Professors are required to follow the disciplinary procedures outlined in the
calendar (B.17. IX. A. 1-2).

Other academic offences you need to be aware of include:

1. Cheating on examination, tests, assignments or reports, including but not limited to:
• Impersonating a candidate at an examination or test or in connection with any assignment
in a course or availing oneself of the results of impersonation.
• Obtaining, through theft, bribery, collusion, purchase, or other improper manner 1) an
examination or test paper prior to the date and time for writing the examination or test;
2) academic materials belonging to another person, e.g. laboratory reports, assignments,
papers, computer materials, datasets.
2. Falsifying or knowingly submitting false assignments or credentials, records, transcripts, or other
academic documents.
3. Submitting a false health or other certificate.

HEAL2002: Introduction to Data Analytics and Health Information Technology
(Winter 2024)

4. Submitting identical or substantially similar work for one course or program of study, which has
been or is being submitted for another course or program of study, without the prior express
knowledge and approval of the instructors.
5. Interfering with the right of other students to pursue their studies.
6. Knowingly aiding or abetting any of the above offences.
7. Tampering with, or altering, in any deceptive way, work subsequently presented for a review of the
grade awarded.
Penalties for plagiarism and other academic offences range from a minimum of F (zero) in the assignment,
exam or test to a maximum of suspension or expulsion from the University, plus a notation of the academic
offence on the student’s transcript.
For more information, please see the Undergraduate Calendar, University Wide Academic Regulations,
Regulation VIII.A, or visit: http://go.unb.ca/tlsPb0XX5. It is the student’s responsibility to know the
regulations.
