MS Health Informatics & Master of Business Administration

The Brooks Rehabilitation College of Healthcare Sciences now offers the Master of Science (MS) in Health Informatics. Federal regulations requiring healthcare organizations to uphold secure electronic patient records have increased the employment opportunities in Health Informatics. Assessment and treatment data outcomes indicate supply of healthcare information professionals is not currently meeting demand, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Successful implementation of this educational track combines a mix of health sciences, management and organizational education courses. This focus will emphasize special training and experience in health care related industry. The primary outcome is to develop a workforce that understands how to drive efficient workflow and operational processes to support efficient, cost effective, and safe patient care. The MSHI program will serve both clinical and non-clinical professions in this industry whereby knowledge and proficiency are required to stay competitive in the areas of healthcare leadership, system theory and patient care.
