Health Informatics

Technology is playing a revolutionary role in the healthcare landscape, influencing everything from how medical information is stored and shared to the development of cutting-edge tools and therapies. Health Informatics is at the forefront of this revolution, harnessing the science, systems, and software behind emerging technologies and applications using health data to uncover the patterns and practices driving innovation and bringing them to the point of care.

Professionals in this field mine, synthesize and translate information into solutions that improve health communication systems, increase the quality of care and patient experience and make healthcare and its costs more efficient. They have the ability to help patients and providers without working in a medical setting. Now more than ever, the industry relies on these skills to help doctors, administrators and other healthcare leaders analyze mountains of data to improve patient outcomes and ultimately create a healthier society.
