Frequently Asked Questions

Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) refers to the use of technology to manage and exchange health-related data and information in healthcare settings. HIT involves the use of systems such as electronic health records (EHR), medical billing software, and more to improve the quality, efficiency, and safety of healthcare delivery.

Healthcare Information Technology Specialists are responsible for managing, supporting, and optimizing IT systems within healthcare organizations. Some responsibilities can include, but aren’t limited to:

  • Implementing and maintaining EHR systems
  • Data security
  • Troubleshooting and support

Healthcare IT (HIT) focuses on the technical side of healthcare systems, confirming that the hardware, software, and infrastructure are in place and functioning properly. It includes managing EHR systems, supporting healthcare applications, and securing patient data.

Health Informatics, on the other hand, is the interdisciplinary field that deals with the collection, analysis, and use of healthcare data to improve patient care. Health informatics professionals work with data scientists and healthcare providers to interpret data and use it to improve healthcare outcomes, inform policy, and conduct research.
