Healthcare Analytics Major:
Healthcare is a data-intensive industry, and specialists are required to help transform data into meaningful and usable information for numerous stakeholders. Healthcare analytics is a rapidly emerging field that involves the integration of health sciences, computer science, information science, biostatistics, and cognitive science to drive the management and analytical use of healthcare information. This field develops methods and technologies to acquire, process, and analyze health data, and uses data-informed tools to improve patient care and safety, contributing to a healthier global population and more cost-effective healthcare services. Students in this program will gain the necessary analytical and technical skills required to manipulate, analyze, and interpret health data to provide superior solutions to strategic and operational problems in healthcare. Additionally, students in this highly interdisciplinary program will learn to apply these information technologies effectively, given an understanding of human and organizational behavior and how it relates to health decisions.
