Adelphi University is proud to announce that our Master of Science in Healthcare Informatics (HIN) has become the first and only healthcare informatics program in New York to receive accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management (CAHIIM). CAHIIM is an organization that monitors the quality of health informatics and health information management programs.
What Does It Mean To Be CAHIIM-Accredited?
Gaining accreditation through CAHIIM is no small achievement. In fact, there are only 27 other CAHIIM-accredited MS in Healthcare Informatics programs across the United States. Accreditation from this body requires a program to have an incredibly strong curriculum, highly qualified faculty and the highest standards for ethics and professionalism.
“The criteria and standards set by CAHIIM, such as curriculum relevance and rigor, faculty qualifications, student support services and an emphasis on ethical standards and professionalism, closely align with our program’s objectives to offer a comprehensive, current, and industry-relevant education in health informatics,” said A. Hasan Sapci, M.D., Associate Professor and Program Director.
Why Receiving an Education From a CAHIIM Accredited School Matters
Attending a CAHIIM-accredited program provides you with access to the highest quality of education in health informatics, health information management and health science. Program curriculum, teaching methodologies and assessment practices must be meticulously designed to align with strict standards, ensuring a robust and comprehensive education.
