This information is also needed by public health officials to indicate disease patterns and trends, and by medical researchers for analysis, comparison and decision support.

An aging population and increasing health care needs, combined with the focus on accountability, efficiency and effectiveness of health care services delivery, has led to a skills shortage. Students will graduate equipped with very marketable skills in the health information management sector. Some of those skills will include expertise in the following areas:
