Manage medical records, manage health care
Health Informatics and Information Management administrators (HIIM) are experts in managing medical records. With a degree in HIIM, you can work in the Health Informatics and Information Management field.
Design and manage health information systems to ensure they meet medical, legal, and ethical standards. Administer computer information systems, collect and analyze patient data, use classification systems, and master medical terminologies. Students are required to complete all HIIM courses with a grade of “C” or above and are required to complete supervised professional practice experiences at a healthcare or healthcare-related facility. In addition, student proof of immunizations is required prior to scheduling supervised professional practices. Background checks may be required depending on on-site requirements. Background checks and liability insurance fees are paid by students for the completion of supervised professional practices.
Producing professionals of the highest quality
Upon program completion, you will plan and develop a health information management system that is appropriate for varying health care facilities, organizations, and agencies. You’ll also implement policies and procedures for information handling and dissemination, in accordance with ethics and in conformity with applicable federal, state, and local statutes and regulations.
The health care industry requires ethical leaders who can protect a patient's private health care information while managing health data quality and integrity processes, to ensure documentation accuracy.
It is our goal to produce professionals of the highest quality. All of our students complete supervised professional practices. These practices are completed at a health care facility and provide hands-on training and networking.
