Developing an interdisciplinary health informatics security and privacy program (abstract only)

Published: 29 February 2012 Publication History

Abstract

Health informatics is one of the nation's largest growth industries. With the government's increasing interest in electronic health records and growing investment by healthcare organizations in technology, there is a large demand for a health informatics and health information technology workforce. To protect health information systems, it is highly important for health informatics professionals to be well educated and trained in information assurance, and to understand the many concerns of security, privacy, integrity and reliability. This poster describes our project of developing a new interdisciplinary program of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) concentration in Health Informatics Security and Privacy (HISP) at North Carolina A&T State University (NC A&T SU). To establish this program, we are developing a new course on health information systems in the Department of Computer Science, a new course on Mathematics for Health Informatics in the Department of Mathematics, and modifying an existing course in the Department of Management. We are also developing three course modules on health informatics security and privacy: Health Information Assurance and Security, Access Control in Healthcare Information Systems, and XML Security in Health Information Systems. These course modules will be integrated in the existing computer security and information assurance courses in the Department of Computer Science. The BSCS concentration in HISP curriculum as well as project plan will also be described in this poster.
