Effective Fall 2007, the Board of Regents approved a proposal to establish a Bachelor of Science degree program in Health Information Management Systems.  The purpose of the program is to educate students in planning, collecting, storing, retrieving and communicating health care data through a combination of coursework in healthcare, technology, and business which will prepare students to become healthcare administrators, analysts, and providers of modern healthcare delivery techniques.  The program will prepare students for the Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) Examination.  Accreditation will be sought from the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA).
