Abstract : The healthcare industry is growing steadily; health informatics is an important part of the everyday environment of
healthcare workers. Therefore, it is necessary to train healthcare professionals on health informatics. Health informatics
knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals are insufficient and the main aim of this project is designing an e-learning
environment to develop ICT knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals trained at different levels. The project is
accepted under the Erasmus+ Programme and three of the participating countries are Turkey, Germany and Spain. We
prepared a Moodle based e-learning website and some education modules – namely, introduction to Informatics education,
patient information management system and service, medical measuring devices, medical imaging devices and decision
support systems. Before the development of the modules, a need analysis survey was performed with 3157 participants from
the three countries. Healthcare is an important factor of a person’s quality of life. Our aim is to support healthcare service with
more educated healthcare professionals. Use of informatics technologies is becoming standard for good healthcare service and
we need more educated professionals. We believe that e-learning is an efficient, effective and practical way for informatics
education of health professionals.
