Kent State University’s Health Informatics concentration launches in Fall 2011 as part of its program in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management (IAKM). Please join us for a Health Informatics (HI) online open house Tuesday November 30, at noon, to find out if this exciting new career field is for you.
Health Informatics is the science that defines how health information is captured, analyzed, transmitted and managed. It focuses on information systems, informatics principles and information technology as it is applied to the continuum of health care delivery. Students may work toward a master’s degree or certificate, or may take individual courses to supplement their professional development.
During the online open house, HI program coordinator Michael Bice will give a presentation on the core concepts of the HI concentration. He and Janna Korzenko, academic program coordinator, also will answer content and logistical questions. Questions may be submitted live throughout the presentation and will be answered at the end of the session, as time permits.
The open house will be presented live, but will also be available for viewing after the event. Please try the following link before the date of the presentation to ensure that your browser has the proper plug-ins for viewing the presentation.
