Healthcare IT Management Graduate courses on the effective application of IT in healthcare PROGRAM OVERVIEW Expectations have never been higher for knowledgeable leaders to leverage healthcare information technology (HIT) for more effective healthcare delivery. IT spending by healthcare organizations is expected to dramatically rise in the coming years, and the demand is growing for professionals who understand how to develop, acquire, and effectively implement new types of information systems within in-patient, ambulatory, and home-health settings. This unique 4-course program is designed for both healthcare professionals and IT professionals: • For healthcare professionals with little or no prior IT management experience, an introductory course on HIT management (MGT 679) is the recommended starting course. • For students with little or no prior work experience in the healthcare industry, an introductory course on the role that IT plays in organizations in the healthcare value chain (MIS 685) is the recommended starting course. Current forecasts are for a 40% increase in demand for HIT professionals in U.S. hospitals alone.
