Letter from the Department Chair
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Master of Science in Health Informatics (MSHI) program at Jacksonville University. Serving JU as both a faculty member and Department Chair of the MSHI program, I strive to develop a rigorous program with practical applications in the health informatics field.
Health Informatics is an evolving field that focuses on health systems structure and
operations and secondary data and technology system design for efficient clinical
care. Health Informatics combines computer science, information technology, process
improvement, and healthcare administration. Nursing Informatics is a similar field
with a focus on patient safety and the quality of care of patients, whereas Health
Informatics focuses business and population health focus complying with regulations
and improving hospital outcomes.
I am committed to providing a positive culture and a program with diverse faculty
and students, evolving health informatics concepts, and practical industry standard
applications. We align the program with the American Medical Informatics Association
(AMIA) and the Commission on Accreditation of Health Informatics and Information Management
(CAHIIM) curriculum standards and support a collaboration with Health Information
Management Systems Society (HIMSS).
We look forward to having you as a JU Dolphin and part of the MSHI program!
Sincerely,
Dr. Brandy V. Gustavus
