Health IT Degrees
Healthcare information technology or health IT degrees teach students how to manage healthcare information using computerized systems. Recent literature in the field has predicted that advances in health IT will prevent medical errors, decrease paperwork, expand healthcare access, and reduce healthcare costs.
Health IT graduates have the experience and knowledge to build and maintain computer systems that are used to store medical data. Graduates are competitive for jobs all across the information technology spectrum. Graduates work as system administrators, software coders, document analysts, software developers, medical coders, website designers, help desk troubleshooters, and workflow optimizers. Depending on the type of work, salaries can range from $25,000 all the way to $100,000+.
Students that are passionate about working in the IT field and are interested in the healthcare sector have multiple degree options from which to choose. Associate degree programs offer classes in medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, health data requirements and standards, clinical classification and coding systems, data analysis, healthcare reimbursement methods, database security and management, and quality improvement methods. Bachelor’s programs are normally four years in length and provide students with the curriculum they need to enter jobs with more responsibility requirements. A master’s degree prepares students for more intensive, analytical and managerial positions.
