Mission Statement

The mission of the Indiana University Northwest Health Information Administration program is to provide a quality health information education that prepares students to fulfill the roles of competent and ethical practitioners in the 21st century. The program seeks to instill student values related to the privacy, security, integrity, and accuracy of patient health information, thereby helping to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve.

Program Outcomes

The program continuously reviews the appropriateness and effectiveness of the curriculum, with the results of the program assessment used as the basis for ongoing planning and improvement. This review is met by utilizing a dedicated Program faculty, clinical faculty, and an advisory board.  With strong faith in these professionals, we set forth the following student learning goals:

1. To demonstrate competence in curricular standards as set forth by the AHIMA.
2. To effectively carry out the functions of the health information management discipline.
3. To be prepared for continued learning at a graduate level of study
4. To be actively engaged within the health information professional community
