Overview

The Health Information Management programme at Rutgers University prepares graduates for advanced careers intersecting medicine, business, data analytics, and information technology, as well as teaching for undergraduate HIM programmes.

Key facts

The wide implementation of electronic health records, growth of health care big data, implementation of advanced information technology systems, and a changing health care regulatory environment, demand health information professionals with a higher level of skills set. These HIM professionals are not only capable of managing people and health information during times of disruptive forces, they are also innovative and find opportunities to thrive by capitalizing on use of health data analytics and rational decision-making.

The mission of our MSHIM programme is to elevate HIM education and contribute to improving the management and use of health data within the healthcare industry. The vision of our programme is to be a leading programme for research and education in health information management nationwide.
