Die Generation der ab den 1980er Jahren Geborenen, genannt Generation Y, tritt seit einiger Zeit als Arbeitnehmer in die Arbeitsmärkte ein. Im Jahr 2020 wird diese Gruppe die Hälfte der Arbeitnehmer in der Bundesrepublik ausmachen. Lebensstil, Globalisierung, kulturelles und mediales Angebot führen bei dieser Generation auch in der Arbeitswelt zu anderen Erwartungen und Ansprüchen als dies bei vorherigen Generationen der Fall war. In Literatur und Studien wird diese Generation fast ausschließlich als selbstbewusst, ehrgeizig, aufstrebend, sozial engagiert und mobil beschrieben. Vor dem Hintergrund des zu erwartenden Fachkräftemangels widmet sich diese Arbeit unter anderem der Frage, mit welchen Instrumenten das Personalmanagement der Unternehmen auf diese Situation reagieren kann, um bei der Gewinnung und Bindung von Mitarbeitern erfolgreich zu sein.
Background: Health information systems (HIS) are one of the most important areas for biomedical and health informatics. In order to professionally deal with HIS well-educated informaticians are needed. Because of these reasons, in 2001 an international course has been established: The Frank – van Swieten Lectures on Strategic Information Management of Health Information Systems.
Objectives: Reporting about the Frank – van Swieten Lectures and about our students‘ feedback on this course during the last 16 years. Summarizing our lessons learned and making recommendations for such international courses on HIS.
Methods: The basic concept of the Frank – van Swieten lectures is to teach the theoretical background in local lectures, to organize practical exercises on modelling sub-information systems of the respective local HIS and finally to conduct Joint Three Days as an international meeting were the resulting models are introduced and compared.
Results: During the last 16 years, the Universities of Amsterdam, Braunschweig, Heidelberg/Heilbronn, Leipzig as well as UMIT were involved in running this course. Overall, 517 students from these universities participated. Our students‘ feedback was clearly positive.
The Joint Three Days of the Frank – van Swieten Lectures, where at the end of the course all students can meet, turned out to be an important component of this course. Based on the last 16 years, we recommend common teaching materials, agreement on equivalent clinical areas for the exercises, support of group building of international student groups, motivation of using a collaboration platform, ensuring quality management of the course, addressing different levels of knowledge of the students, and ensuring sufficient funding for joint activities.
Conclusions: Although associated with considerable additional efforts, we can clearly recommend establishing such international courses on HIS, such as the Frank – van Swieten Lectures.
