Advanced Professional Certificate in Nursing Informatics and Advanced Professional Certificate in Digital Health Informatics

Nursing Informatics is a combination of cognitive science, computer science, information science, and nursing science. It includes the development, analysis, and evaluation of information systems augmented by technologies that support, enhance and manage patient care. Nursing Informatics is an intersection between patient care and patient health information. It is focused on patient care, specifically by optimizing the technology used by nurses.

Health Informatics (also known as Healthcare Informatics) is a combination of computer science, information science and health science designed to assist in the management and processing of data, information and knowledge to support healthcare and healthcare delivery. Health informatics work provides electronic access to medical records for patients, doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, insurance companies, and health information technicians.
