My opportunity in healthcare information systems
The CICS program at BSU has given me an opportunity to pursue my interest in information and communication. I’m a registered nurse and currently work in a large hospital as a nurse manager. I plan to incorporate my 11 years of acute care clinical experience with my master’s degree to transition into the healthcare information systems industry.
One excellent resource I have found is The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS). For those of us working professionals in the field have access to the latest technologies and the ability to network with others through various member communities. Technology is an integral part of healthcare organizations. However, it doesn’t matter how good the technology is, if it doesn’t improve patient care and clinical workflow processes, it is useless. Healthcare IT professionals, have insight and knowledge into how those work can be more efficiently improved with the integration of effective technologies. HIMSS is a great way to keep me connected with current industry activities and an even better source for job opportunities.
