Computer Information Systems – Health Informatics
www. linnbenton. edu / go / computer-systems
Health Informatics is the application of Computer( IT) Information Technology in the healthcare industry, focusing on the design, implementation and maintenance of the necessary IT infrastructure in order to produce patient and enterprise wide data for utilization in the delivery of quality and efficient healthcare. The focus of the program is to create, maintain and manage large, complex, electronic information systems that can securely gather, store, transfer and make accessible Electronic Health Records( EHRs) and Electronic Medical Records( EMRs).
Graduates of the Associate of Applied Science degree in Health Informatics are prepared to work with networked IT and database systems and programming tools; understand medical terminology; and understand health information systems. They will be prepared for entrylevel positions in the IT or technical department of a hospital, clinic or other healthcare setting. Job titles can include: IT Help Desk, health information technician, and database assistant.
The program includes Health Information Management( HIM) distance learning courses that are accessed via the internet and provided by Portland Community College( PCC). These courses occur during the first and second year of study and do not require attendance on the campus of PCC. The second year also includes valuable cooperative work experience in the information technology field, arranged with one of a number of local public or private health-related organizations.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete an Associate of Applied Science in
Health Informatics will:
• Provide technical support for hardware, support, and networks in a healthcare environment.
• Solve healthcare and business-related information technology issues.
• Understand the principles of health information management.
• Communicate and work effectively in a healthcare information technology environment.
• Apply a basic system infrastructure design in a healthcare environment.
• Analyze and program to solve computation problems using various program languages.
• Solve problems as part of a group or team.
Program Requirements
Students considering a major in health informatics should be aware that this is a challenging program that requires a full-time commitment. The sequence of courses begins in fall term and continues for two years. Although there is a small amount of flexibility in the time some courses can be taken, students who intend to complete the program in two years should plan to begin in fall term and pursue it full time. Students should also be sure to meet with a program advisor regularly to ensure that coursework is on track.
Facilities
The students in this program spend a considerable amount of their time working on computers. Campus labs are well-equipped with modern hardware and software. Students have access to networked IBMcompatible personal computers for completing assignments.
1 – Courses offered that term only. 2 – Other classes may substitute. See advisor. 6 – These courses must have been completed within the last five years. 7 – Course may be taken any term to accommodate a student’ s particular interests and scheduling considerations. See the requirements for the Associate of Science degree for approved courses. 8 – No more than two courses with the same alpha prefix may be used by a student to meet the general education requirement. See an advisor. 9 – A cost-recovery program. See“ Workforce Training” section for details.
