Use Data to Improve Patient Care with a Master of Science in Health Informatics

The Health Informatics (MS) program at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is geared towards entry or mid-level employees at healthcare organizations who want to take the next steps in their careers. In this program, you will learn to utilize informatics, data analytics, and health technologies to improve patient care.

The widespread digitization of health records is changing healthcare delivery, but only if that data is collected, organized, and interpreted into meaningful insights. It is the role of professionals trained in health informatics to provide these insights and foster interprofessional collaboration and communication in team-based care so providers can make the best, data-driven decisions.

This 30-credit, online program has two components: core courses and specializations. You can choose a focus in Clinical Informatics and Collaborative Practice, or Health Data Analytics and Applied Technology. Both tracks prepare graduates for leadership and management roles as they will understand how to leverage health informatics to benefit both their organization and the greater healthcare profession.
