Dear Jerry:<br>As an IS person running one of the early masters program in HIT/HIM I and some colleagues have been inundated with similar questions. So we decided to write a paper about this. In fact we address all the curriculum, faculty, professional society etc issues in that paper. The paper has been accepted and will be published in the January issue of CAIS. <br>
<br>S. Chatterjee, C. Lerouge and M. C. Tremblay, "Educating Students in
Health Information Technology: IS Community Barriers, Challenges and Paths
Forward" forthcoming in the <strong>Communications of the Association
for Information Systems</strong>.<br><br>We hope this paper will be valuable to many IS academics who are thinking of starting new programs in Healthcare Informatics. <br>Thanks<br>Samir<br><br>P.S Jerry I am sending you an advance copy of our paper in a separate email. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all. I am looking for information related to Health Informatics curriculum. I am interested in course content, projects, curriculum, etc. for both graduate and undergraduate areas in both the information systems areas as well as the
health areas. Below is some of the material that I have already found for others with a similar interest. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have looked at the American Health Information Management Association website (<span style><a href="http://www.ahima.org/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:none">http://www.ahima.org/</span></a>). Anyone on the
list a member of AHIMA and is it worth the membership fee to access the member only areas?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style>Additional associations and schools teaching Health Informatics can be found at:
<a href="http://www.hiww.org/us.html" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:none">http://www.hiww.org/us.html</span></a> Are any of the associations on this list worth joining? Not surprisingly, I have a very limited budget. An additional list of IS programs
can be found at: <a href="http://www.aissighealth.com/wordpress/?page_id=280" target="_blank">http://www.aissighealth.com/wordpress/?page_id=280</a>.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style>A couple of medical record systems that can be accessed for free are US Dept. of Veterans Affairs (<a href="http://www.ehealth.va.gov/EHEALTH/CPRS_Demo.asp" target="_blank">http://www.ehealth.va.gov/EHEALTH/CPRS_Demo.asp</a>)
and Practice Fusion (<a href="http://www.practicefusion.com/" target="_blank">http://www.practicefusion.com/</a>). The latter software also provides access to their training materials. Any recommendations for other software packages to explore?</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All help is appreciated. <u></u><u></u></p>
