The Master of Science in Health Information Management (MSHIM) is an exciting, job-oriented program that combines healthcare, computer information systems, and the best business practices. The Affordable Care Act and other mandates have forced the healthcare industry to become more data-driven. Any modern healthcare-related facility in the United States, be it hospitals, insurance companies, retirement homes, physical therapy centers, or anything else that concerns our health, will be in need of trained management professionals familiar with healthcare data and the computer systems that manipulate that data.

DESCRIPTION

The 33-credit curriculum can be completed in 15 months and will expose you to best practices in healthcare management, project management, data analysis, information technology and its accompanying legal, social and security issues. The program is designed to place you at the center of three complimentary career streams: healthcare data reporting, computer information systems and solid management practices. You will become an essential asset to those doing the business of healthcare in America.
