Health Informatics vs Healthcare Analytics (Infographic)

Health informatics versus Healthcare Analytics

As you begin to look at health informatics degree and certificate programs, you may find yourself searching for definitions and differences between health informatics and healthcare analytics.

It’s not hard to see why as the two disciplines work in similar areas of the health IT space. But, in fact, they are very different and have uniquely defined roles that complement one another.

To help you better understand the definitions of each discipline, the duties of the people who work in those fields and what you can expect to learn from USF Health’s online Master of Science in Health Informatics and Master of Science in Health Informatics with a concentration in Healthcare Analytics, we’ve created the following infographic. We’ll also dive into career outlooks for each field and why USF Health is the best choice for you to pursue your master’s degree.

USF Health also offers a Graduate Certificate in Health Informatics as well as a SAS-Approved Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Analytics.
