Online Bachelor of Science in Health Informatics
Health informatics is a rapidly growing, interdisciplinary field that combines data analytics, technology, and healthcare delivery.
What is Health Informatics?
Health informatics is a field that improves patient care by combining healthcare, information technology, and data science. Health informatics professionals work with systems that collect, store, manage, and analyze health information to ensure medical records are accurate, secure, and accessible.
With more patient and healthcare system data being generated than ever, the science of health informatics is focused on how technological innovations can harness this unprecedented access to information to improve patient care and population health.
On the IT side, health informatics experts are developing new, innovative technologies designed to improve patient care; on the clinical side, informatics specialists are working to ensure that every patient’s data is accurate, complete, secure, and readily accessible to those who need it.
UC’s informatics students learn various skills in health IT, business, data and project management, and analytics.
The Bachelor of Science in Health Informatics Program is in Candidacy Status, pending accreditation review by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM).
