Master of Science [M.S] [Health Informatics] From Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

As a result, faculty can transmit state-of-the-art knowledge to students. Indiana University is capitalizing on this great research strength in informatics with the formation of an Informatics Research Institute (IRI). IRI will conduct research in areas of emphasis shared with the School of Informatics, including: fundamental research in human computer interaction; fundamental research in capturing, managing, analyzing, and explaining information and making it available for its myriad uses; and expanding research into policy and socioeconomic issues arising from information technology.

A sample of some projects include:

• Lead product development teams developing cutting-edge technologies that will be used on the front lines of medicine
• Lead health care analytics projects where they are analyzing Big Data in health care to inform business, clinical, and population decisions
• Develop policies affecting the privacy and security of health information as it is collected, stored, managed, and shared
• Work with clinical teams to better use IT systems such as electronic health records to improve efficiencies, expand their services to serve more people, and support e-visits where patients communicate with their providers using e-mail, texts, and video.
