The Healthcare Information Systems Management Major was created to meet the health industry’s need for professionally trained and educated individuals in the converging fields of business, information technology, and healthcare management. The purpose of the Healthcare Information Systems Management Major is to develop lifelong learners who are prepared to become effective managers of information in the diverse and interdisciplinary healthcare world. The major will provide students with the professional knowledge and skills necessary to assume management responsibility for health information in a variety of settings, to include acute care hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, consulting firms, government and planning agencies, insurance companies, software vendors, health maintenance organizations, and regulatory agencies, to name but a few of the job opportunities in this highly recognized profession.
As a profession healthcare information managers are an integral part of the organization’s management team, working with other healthcare managers and clinical staff to provide the best possible information resources to improve patient care. The major provides students with the skills and knowledge to develop, manage, and improve the information necessary in today’s modern healthcare arena. In operational settings healthcare information managers will design and maintain information systems, assess and disseminate clinical and administrative information. Information healthcare managers will use in financial management, facilities planning and operations and risk management. While others, including clinicians, will use this information for educational purposes, research, utilization management, quality assessments and improvement, and decision-making.
During the course of study students will be exposed to a variety of academic disciplines to include information management, and healthcare management. Because these disciplines have many courses in common with the major, students can complete a second major in Healthcare Management or Management Information Sciences. At the completion of the major the student will: • Knowledge: Demonstrate the ability to recognize and articulate facts, concepts, procedures, and technical processes of information systems, and business and healthcare management components of healthcare information management
• Comprehension and Synthesis: Be able to integrate healthcare information management theories, principles, and practices for application within a real world healthcare setting
• Application: Demonstrate the ability to systematically apply communication, technical and analytical knowledge and skills to administrative and clinical healthcare information problem-solving
• Analysis/Evaluation: Be able to evaluate the effectiveness of the plans, development, and implementation of health information systems solutions
• Creation: Be able to plan, design, and create systems to manage the flow of information throughout a healthcare organization
