Cal State San Marcos has a new certificate program that addresses the local and regional need for leaders in the emerging field of Health Information Technology.
Health Information Technology allows doctors and health care providers to store, share and access personal health information. The most common applications are personal health records, electronic health records and electronic prescribing.
"Full-scale adoption of Health Information Technology (HIT) is essential to the U.S. healthcare system if we want to pare down unnecessary costs, improve efficiencies, eliminate redundancies and ensure the flow of accurate, timely information between service providers," says CSUSM Professor Jack Leu, the new program's advisor.
The program gives students access to the best and brightest leaders, thinkers and entrepreneurs in the field. It marries real-world applications and modeling exercises with technical and management theory. This two-semester program is a collaboration between the CSUSM College of Business Administration and Extended Learning.
For more information about the HIT Certificate at CSUSM or to RSVP, call 760-750-4020 or email [email protected].
