The certificate in Health Informatics and Data Analytics prepares clinicians, health care managers, statisticians, epidemiologists, computer programmers, data analysts, and other professionals in analysis of complex health care data, including data extracted from electronic health records, claims data, and consumer generated data. Since electronic health records and related data repositories are becoming increasing more massive, the certificate emphasizes topics related to big data analysis. Data mining, propensity scoring, and other advanced analytic techniques covered in the certificate, can handle complex problems typically found in observational data: large, multidimensional and multi-type data sets, with many confounding issues and noise. These techniques can be computationally efficient on large scale analysis and intelligent in predicting an outcome.
