Administered by the School of Health Information Management

The Health Information Management part-time degree completion program is designed to allow health practitioners to upgrade their education to the level of an undergraduate degree in theory and management of health information.

Health Information Management (HIM) is concerned with health-related information and the management of systems to collect, store, process, retrieve, analyze, disseminate, and communicate information related to the planning, provision, research and evaluation of health care services. The health information professional plays a vital role in the management of information resources and/or technologies that support clinical, administrative and financial information systems in health care.

Initially, the primary target group will be individuals who have graduated from the Health Information Management diploma/certificate and related programs offered by the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAATs) or equivalents as currently recognized by the Canadian Health Information Management Association (CHIMA).
