About the ProgramThe health information management program is designed to prepare graduates for the rapidly growing field of health information management. The professional courses which students study to become a health information manager cover such topics as health information science, health information terminology, computer applications in health information administration, and evaluation of health care systems. Both Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and the Bachelor of Professional Studies (B.P.S.) degrees in health information management are available at the SUNY Institute of Technology. Graduates of two-year health information technology programs or management/computer science programs usually choose the B.P.S. option. Students from two-year liberal arts programs with strong emphasis on the natural sciences are accommodated in the B.S. option. The choice of the degree may be made after admission to the college and evaluation of prior transfer credit; each applicant is evaluated individually. Graduates of accredited programs qualify for certification in the field of health information management by passing the test requirements of the American Health Information Management Association. The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education.
