Health Data Analytics

The health care industry is constantly innovating and finding new ways to improve health care delivery. Today’s landscape is data-driven, and the ability to uncover insights from patient data can inform decision-making in the health care industry and transform patient care.

In addition to data skills, students will learn about health informatics, epidemiology, health information management, and how data is used to support decision-making and quality improvement in health care. Ethics play a crucial role in the program, and students will learn about the ethical considerations involved in handling and analyzing health data, ensuring that patient privacy and data security are always maintained.

Graduates of the program will gain experience with relational database systems, data quality improvement, predictive analytics, and visual analytics, along with an introduction to working with big data. All learners will complete a real-world capstone health data analytics project that will help a health care organization make informed and actionable decisions using a data-centric approach.
