Health Informatics and Information Management (BS)

Bridging the gap in healthcare

As healthcare goes digital, the demand for tech-savvy professionals who can manage and protect patient data is growing fast. Health Informatics and Information Management (HIIM) experts bridge the gap between clinicians, administrators, and IT, ensuring accurate, secure, and accessible information when it’s needed most.
 
With knowledge spanning IT, healthcare, compliance, and records management, HIIM professionals are vital for keeping systems running smoothly and meeting strict data and privacy regulations.
 
Thanks to a curriculum that blends medicine, management, tech, law, and finance, HIIM grads are prepared for a wide range of careers in hospitals, clinics, insurance companies, and beyond.
