Health Care Comp Info Systems

Catalog description

Health Care Computer Information Systems Since the enactment of the Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973, health care providers (HCPs) have been developing techniques to reduce the cost of providing health benefits and improve the quality of care. More recently, given the rapid advances in Computer Information Systems (IT), HCPs have attempted to further integrate IT into their day to day operations, as well their strategic plans. As a consequence, there is now a great demand for skilled individuals who can manage and integrate medical information systems in such applications as Medical Imaging, electronic data interchange, integrated delivery systems, computerized patient recrds, artificial intelligence and expert medical systems, decision support systems and internet based applications.
