Education in Health Informatics (HI) has been a key priority to guarantee knowledge and skills for professionals working in healthcare settings. One of the early academic models to teach HI are the recommendations provided by the International Medical Informatics Association. The paper describes the curriculum developed for master's degrees and the status of a paradigm used in informatics education, as well as research in the health and human services fields. The aim is to synthesise the methodological focuses in students' theses and discuss the future needs for development. The paradigm guides informatics research. The research focuses, questions and applied research methods were coded for 152 master's degree theses. Based on the results, the most often used method was qualitative. The most frequent research area was steering and organising of information management in work processes. The results guide teachers in supervising the theses of the Health and Human Services Informatics (HHSI) programme and tutoring new students.
健康信息学（HI）教育一直是保障医疗环境中专业人员知识和技能的关键优先事项。早期教授HI的学术模式之一是国际医学信息学协会提供的建议。本文描述了为硕士学位开发的课程以及信息学教育中使用的一种范式的现状，以及健康和人类服务领域的研究。目的是综合学生论文中的方法论重点，并讨论未来的发展需求。该范式指导信息学研究。对152篇硕士学位论文的研究重点、问题和应用研究方法进行了编码。根据结果，最常用的方法是定性方法。最常见的研究领域是工作流程中信息管理的指导和组织。这些结果为教师指导健康与人类服务信息学（HHSI）项目的论文和辅导新生提供了指导。
