Health Information Technology NEW Associate Degree, 68 credits, Financial Aid Eligible Health Information Technology is a rapidly growing field of study and requires minimal interaction with patients. According to the Bureau of Labor and statistics, employment in health information is expected to grow by 20% from 2008-2018. These professionals work in numerous settings such as hospitals, physician practices, nursing homes, home health agencies, ambulatory care centers, and specialty clinics—basically anywhere that collects, maintains, analyzes and uses medical records and data. Health information professionals gather, code, manage and maintain patient health information. They should be very detail-oriented and often function as detectives. Proper coding and information management is necessary for health care providers to get reimbursed accurately and in a timely manner. In addition to saving money, the health information industry can improve the safety and efficiency of patient care by making accurate, updated patient information readily accessible to health care providers. As a graduate of this program, you may find employment as Medical Coders—the data entry experts or as Registered Health Information Technicians—where you would compile, maintain and analyze health data. With an associate’s degree in this field of study, potential positions in the field may include health data analyst, insurance claims analyst, records technician specialist, clinical coding specialist, physician practice manager or patient information coordinator.

Generally, as a graduate of the program who is age 21 or older, you can find employment with over-the-road companies such as large chain food stores, manufacturing plants and trucking companies (common or contract carriers or private motor carriers). If you are under age 21, you can obtain employment driving intrastate routes. You must be able to cope with family, social and company concerns that are unique to this occupation.
