Health Informatics Graduate Program

Improving the delivery of health care

We have access to more health information than ever. But do we know how to use it? Located at the hub of health, science, and technology, health informatics examines the “why” behind health data.

Learn to improve the process of providing health care when you enroll in one of the health informatics degree programs at the Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing at IUPUI.

Fine-tuning the flow of information

By making health care safer and more efficient, our graduates make a difference in their communities and around the world. They refine electronic health record systems, analyze data and how it’s collected, and protect patient information as they answer questions like:

What’s the most effective way to offer reliable medical advice 24/7?
What types of health care communication do patients prefer?
How can we best use Big Data in health care to make wise and sensible business, clinical, and patient-care decisions?

“Informatics students don’t just manage the data. They look at the process.”

Jayanth Kumar Medam, Health Informatics graduate student
