What is Health Informatics?
Many KIN students want to work in healthcare, but it’s unlikely that all graduates will become physicians, nurses, or therapists. Health Informatics is a professional field that harnesses the power of information to enhance health and transform individual health and the healthcare industry. This job involves the acquiring, storing, retrieving, and using of healthcare information to foster better collaboration and communication among a patient’s healthcare providers.
