The Master of Information Systems in Health Management is a unique program designed to prepare students for professional roles in the design and management of information systems and services in healthcare organizations.
While Qatar has already started the digitization of health records and implementation of digital-based data collection and storage systems, there is limited access to expertise in implementation and management of such health information systems.
The Master of Science in Information Systems for Health Management addresses the shortage in skilled resources with expertise in health information systems, which is urgently required, as highlighted in the National E-Health and Data Management Strategy commissioned by the Ministry of Public Health in 2015.
Graduates of this program will be able to pursue a variety of career paths in different healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, primary care facilities, national health services, physician offices, insurance providers, long-term care organizations, pharmacies, IT companies, industries linked to health information and management functions, health information and research centers.
