Abstract

With the changes in healthcare delivery promoting more effective use of health information technology, it is essential that healthcare administrators have a basic grounding in the best practices for developing and using these technologies in healthcare settings. Educational programs that train health administration students need to incorporate competencies in this area into their curricula. This chapter discusses the informatics competencies needed by healthcare executives and managers and describes how the educational program accrediting agencies are incorporating them into their requirements. To address these competencies, the Association of University Programs in Health Administration commissioned a task force to oversee the development of curriculum modules that can be used by health administration programs in both online and face-to-face settings. In this chapter the curriculum is described and the plans for its dissemination are discussed.
