HIM and Health IT Is Growing Fast
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts an employment increase of 17 percent for all health information professionals over the next decade.
“Widespread use of electronic health records (EHRs) will continue to create demand for managers with knowledge of health information technology and informatics systems. Medical and health services managers will be needed to organize, manage, and integrate these records across areas of the healthcare industry.”
"The UW HIMT capstone project definitely helped me get my foot in the door. I worked side-by-side with health information professionals at Bellin Health Care Systems, designing an application to track population health."
