Ringkasan program

This dual program is designed for the student seeking a career in the field of health information management with opportunities in health sciences libraries, academia, information technology (IT), hospital management, hospital information systems, corporate research centers, and corporate IT. The emerging discipline of health care informatics is largely due to advances in computing and communications technologies in the health care industry, an increased reliance on computer-based knowledge management applications, and the need for knowledge retrieval and management expertise. Health care is a trillion dollar industry, with employers seeking out individuals who possess communication and problem solving abilities, technological skills, and an understanding of the possibilities that new technologies promise for the health care industry. There exists a critical need for graduate professional education in health care informatics to meet the increasing breadth and depth in the areas of the computerized patient record, cost reimbursement, and integrated health information systems. The two degrees must be awarded simultaneously.
