Program Description
Few professions offer the level of diversity in positions and tasks, as well as job security, as Health Information Technology (HIT). HIT is positioned at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and business. This certificate prepares individuals from other degree programs and professions to successfully transition their skills and credentials to the healthcare sector.
Skills, duties, and tasks within healthcare span business, accounting, counseling, IT, data analytics, management, laws and regulations, marketing, human resources, network security, project management, and beyond. Professionals with insight and understanding into the unique business environment of serving patients empower clinical partners in health care to provide high-quality, efficient, financially prudent, and life-saving care.
PCC’s HIT programs, staff, and students are affiliated, approved, and credentialed with the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) – the premier national association of health information management (HIM) professionals and the leading source of HIM knowledge – as well as the global Health information Management Systems Society (HIMSS), the premier international association whose mission is to “reform the global health ecosystem through the power of information and technology.”
