Its graduates are prepared with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage health care data used to support patient care, make business and clinical decisions, conduct research, evaluate services, and contribute to the development of computer based patient record. The profession offers career flexibility and a variety of workplace options. Presently, opportunities for practice are found in numerous areas including hospitals, rehabilitation, pharmaceutical companies, mental health, home health, long term care, veterinary medicine, insurance companies, law firms, private industry, and colleges and universities. Graduates of the program are eligible to write the national accreditation examination for the designation of Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT). While providing students with the skills necessary for immediate employment, the Health Information Technology program also prepares the students for further study if they choose to pursue a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health Information Management. Requirements & Specific Information: Students must achieve grade C or better, or grade Pass (if the course is a Pass/Fail course) for all the Core and Arts and Sciences courses in this program. Accreditation: The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM) ( CAHIIM recognizes degree granting programs in Health Informatics and Information Management that have undergone a rigorous process of voluntary peer review and have met or exceeded the minimum accreditation standards set by the professional association in cooperation with CAHIIM. Career Opportunities: Health Information Technology Associate of Applied Science: Job titles such as Coding Specialist, Health Data Analyst, Clinical Documentation Specialist, and Health Information Technicians are attainable upon completion of this course of study. To learn more from a career specialist, visit the Office of Career Services at either campus or explore online at Transfer Pathways: Students intending to transfer and complete a bachelor s degree need to make early decisions concerning an academic major and a transfer destination. Statistics show that students who make these decisions early are more likely to persist to graduation than their undecided counterparts. Students planning to transfer credits earned at Macomb are strongly urged to see a counselor or academic advisor as early as possible in their college careers. 8 Transfer Resource Guide 1
