Informatics is the science of processing data for storage and retrieval. Everyday we benefit from the outcomes of informatics. Have you ever received an alert on your cell phone as you drive past your favorite store? That was an outcome of informatics!

Health informatics uses the same principle of processing data, but for the purpose of improving healthcare outcomes. The data collected at doctors' offices, clinics, and pharmacies plays a critical role in healthcare reform. If you want to be part of the driving force that decreases costs and improves outcomes in the healthcare industry, pursuing a career in the field of health informatics could be right for you.

The University of Findlay's Master of Science in Health Informatics Program prepares students to take on emerging healthcare roles and to be successful in a fast-growing field. Our program is offered in two formats, which provides our students with the flexibility to fit classes into their busy schedules.
