Characteristics of U.S. Baccalaureate Health Informatics Programs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

 Health informatics (HI) is a growing field of study, yet sparse data are available on the characteristics of undergraduate HI programs in the United States. The lack of a central location for U.S. HI undergraduate program data has led to a gap in information to support current efforts to promote academic standards in the field and attract potential students.

Objectives

 The objective of this study was to perform an environment scan of colleges and universities within the United States and Puerto Rico to identify undergraduate programs in HI including majors, minors, and undergraduate-level certificates.

Methods

 Potential institutions offering HI programs were identified from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the Commission for Accredita
