BACKGROUND: Health Information Management (HIM) and Health Informatics (HI) were very separate professions when they were first formed. However, with the increasing adoption of electronic health records, the interests of the two fields have become more aligned. OBJECTIVES: To describe the evolution of a joint master's program in health informatics(HI) and health information management (HIM). METHODS: After analyzing workforce needs, and reviewing both CAHIIM accreditation requirements and existing curricular offerings in separate programs in HIM and HI, a joint program was developed. RESULTS: An HI master's program with a core curriculum for all students and tracks in Data Analytics, User Experience and Advanced Practice HIM was developed. A model for a comprehensive examination, based on the CAHIIM competencies, to be administered prior to and after the core curriculum was also developed. CONCLUSIONS: A core and track curriculum that incorporates HIM education as part of the Master of Science of Health Informatics provides a feasible roadmap for the future as HIM and HI become more closely aligned.
背景:健康信息管理(HIM)和健康信息学(HI)在最初形成时是两个非常独立的专业。然而,随着电子健康记录的日益普及,这两个领域的利益变得更加一致。 目的:描述健康信息学(HI)和健康信息管理(HIM)联合硕士项目的发展历程。 方法:在分析劳动力需求,并审查CAHIIM认证要求以及HIM和HI各自独立项目中现有的课程设置后,开发了一个联合项目。 结果:开发了一个HI硕士项目,该项目为所有学生设置了核心课程,并在数据分析、用户体验和高级实践HIM方面设有方向。还开发了一种基于CAHIIM能力的综合考试模式,该考试将在核心课程之前和之后进行。 结论:随着HIM和HI联系日益紧密,将HIM教育纳入健康信息学理学硕士课程的核心及方向课程,为未来提供了一条可行的路线图。
