Unit rationale, description and aim
Supporting successful digital transformation requires more than implementing new technologies. It requires digital health solutions to be designed and implemented with the needs of patients, healthcare professionals and organisations at the centre of decision making. Students will develop knowledge of human-centred design, co-design, data, artificial intelligence, automation, workforce capability, change management, innovation and evaluation frameworks that support the adoption of digital health solutions. Through authentic case studies and applied learning activities, students will explore how user-centred approaches can improve patient and provider experience while strengthening quality, safety and organisational outcomes. The aim of this microcredential is to enable students to understand and apply user-centred digital transformation principles that support the successful implementation, adoption and continuous improvement of digital health solutions across diverse healthcare settings.

Assessment strategy and rationale
The assessment strategy consists of one authentic written assessment that measures achievement of all learning outcomes. Students design a practical and strategically informed digital health solution that integrates enabling technologies, human-centred design, workforce capability and change management to address a contemporary healthcare challenge. The assessment requires students to apply user-centred digital transformation principles while evaluating implementation, adoption, quality, safety and sustainability. This strategy reflects professional practice by integrating technical, organisational and human factors within a realistic digital health implementation context. Students must demonstrate achievement of all learning outcomes and must pass the assessment to pass the microcredential.

Learning and teaching strategy and rationale
The learning and teaching strategy is designed to build conceptual understanding and practical capability in supporting user-centred digital transformation within healthcare settings. Students engage with online modules, authentic case studies and applied learning activities that progressively develop knowledge of human-centred design, enabling technologies, workforce capability, change management and evaluation. Learning activities provide opportunities to apply user-centred approaches, evaluate digital health innovations and develop implementation strategies that support adoption, quality and safety. This approach encourages critical thinking, consideration of multiple perspectives and reflective practice while enabling students to connect theoretical concepts with contemporary digital health practice. The strategy supports progressive skill development and prepares students to contribute to the successful implementation and continuous improvement of user-centred digital health solutions.
