BJC Healthcare Informatics
Institutional Header
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services has called for a national healthcare information infrastructure—including electronic health records—by 2014. The mandate has created an industry-wide focus on the cohesive operation and transparency of healthcare systems and records. Technology use at every level of healthcare is increasing rapidly. Front line healthcare workers interact daily with an overwhelming array of computerized technology, and healthcare IT roles are growing in complexity and number. The primary goal continues to be enhanced patient care, but the means by which this is accomplished is changing rapidly.

All information sessions will be conducted via web conference.
Web conference details are available here.


“I definitely recommend the SIUE healthcare informatics classes. Everyone uses databases, whether they realize it or not. An education in healthcare informatics will increase people’s knowledge of the different systems we use. This knowledge will ultimately benefit our patients.”
