Health Care Informatics is focused on the development and application of information
technology to health care information. It is an interdisciplinary program integrating
health care computer and information science. Health care informatics specialists
are professionals who assume direct responsibility for automated information systems
within a health care context acting as a liaison between health care and computer
specialists.
The Health Care Informatics program is offered in three tracks, each of which is offered as an undergraduate minor or as a certificate. The certificate
option is available for post-baccalaureate students who have already completed
a bachelor’s degree.
Healthcare informatics students will be provided advisement related to the minor
or certificate program by Ramona Nelson, Nursing department, or Sharadchandra
Joshi, Computer Science department. Track I is designed
for students who are interested in health care and computers but do not have a
degree in either field.
Track II is a fast track for students with a major or degree
in one of the health care fields. Some examples include nursing, community health, and health services administration.
Track III is a fast track designed for students who are majoring in or have a degree in a computer/information science related field. Some examples include computer science, information systems, and information technology.
