Overview

With the transition from paper Medical Records to electronic medical records, the role of a Health Information Technician has never been more important and is one of the top 20 fastest growing careers according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Overview

The University of Northwestern Ohio Health Information Technology program is accredited by CAHIIM, the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education. This accreditation means that when you graduate with an associate’s degree, upon passing a certification exam, you will be considered a Registered Health Information Technician, or RHIT. The University will even PAY for you to take the RHIT exam!

The Health Information Technology degree prepares you to be employed in Hospitals, Physician’s Offices, Nursing Homes, Home Health Agencies, Mental Health Facilities, Public Health Agencies and any other organization that uses patient data or health information such as pharmaceutical companies, law and insurance firms, and health product vendors. UNOH surveyed area employers within those fields and 100% of those who responded said they would hire a UNOH Health Information Technology graduate.
