WHO SHOULD USE THIS ACADEMIC MAP
HOW THIS ACADEMIC MAP IS SET UP
The academic map is designed to provide students with the optimal route to earning an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree. Students who cannot take the map’s recommended number of credits each semester will take longer to complete the degree, graduate and transfer.
CSN AAS HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: DESCRIPTION
The Health Information Technology program is an Associate of Applied Science Degree. The HIT program combines academic courses on campus with professional practice experiences at clinical affiliate sites. Health information is used in every aspect of health care planning and delivery. A patient’s health record contains vitally important information that must be analyzed, coded, stored, and protected. The health record serves as a means of communication among all members of the health care team. The documentation comes from a variety of healthcare settings and assists in ensuring continuity of care and protects the financial and legal interests of the patient, health care facility, and responsible practitioners caring for the patient.
Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are eligible to apply to take the national certification exam to become a Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT). The program is limited entry so students must attend a Health Sciences Orientation, meet with a program advisor, and complete the limited entry workshop.
