The Master of Science degree in Health Informatics prepares graduates for careers in managerial, analytical, consultative and executive roles working with healthcare systems and clinicians.
Health informatics is the science of evaluating, implementing and utilizing technology to manage all information related to the patient care delivery process: clinical, financial, technological and enterprise-wide. Three major components comprise the health informatics discipline: (1) the information systems component focuses on such issues as information systems analysis, design, implementation, management and leadership; (2) the informatics component is concerned with the study of structure, function and transfer of information, socio-technical aspects of health computing and human-computer interaction; and (3) the information technology component focuses on computer networks, database and systems administration, security and programming.
The informatics field also draws contributions from computer science, the clinical sciences, social and organizational influences and business practices.
