Introduction to Informatics for Community Health Centers

The discipline of Health Informatics operates at the intersection of health sciences (e.g. basic, clinical, public health, librarianship, etc.), information technology and data science. It is in this area that a multidisciplinary understanding of health information needs, human-centered design and optimization of health information technologies (HIT) that drives innovation in the use and adoption of modern solutions supporting data-driven decisions that improve patient outcomes. 

At NACHC, we recognize the wide diversity and the unique challenges that community health centers and their patients face everyday. With this in mind, we have developed an interdisciplinary health informatics curriculum that invites students, trainees, graduates and post-graduate scholars from a range of disciplines including nursing, medical, public health, dental and allied health professions as well as fields such as computer, library and information sciences. This is an applied course that attempts to engage participants in relevant issues and challenges faced by community health centers across the nation.
