Overview

The rigorous Master in Health Informatics program at Duke University combines online instruction with one campus session each semester. The final course in this major (Synthesis of Specialty Practice) is an intensive individualized practicum in a health care organization (minimum of 224 practicum hours) in which the student completes a project under the mentorship of an experienced clinician in the informatics specialty.

The increasing reliance of health care systems on information technology (IT) is opening up new opportunities for nursing informatics specialists who have expertise in both nursing practice and health care IT. Nurse informaticists play key roles in the development and implementation of health care IT systems in areas such as clinical documentation, computerized practitioner order entry, and electronic health records. The average salary of a nursing informaticist in 2017 was over $100,000 according to a workforce survey conducted by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society.

Highlights
