Electronic medical records and exchange of patient information and patient privacy mandates have created an increased demand for health care information technology (IT) professionals.

The curriculum was developed from the model curriculum of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) and was developed to also align with the criteria of the Commission on Accreditation for Health Information and Information Management (CAHIIM). It is designed to help the student use information technology to support efficient, accurate health care delivery and management.
