Program Overview

If you’re detail oriented, self motivated and want a unique career in the health-care industry, consider Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Health Information Management program. You’ll learn how to collect, organize and manage large amounts of health information, all while meeting privacy standards.

You could work as a health information management practitioner, coordinator or analyst with health regions as well as public and private health agencies-hospitals to cancer clinics and government agencies. Your unique skill set can also open doors to jobs with police forces, educational institutions, law offices, insurance companies and pharmaceutical firms.

Learn from experienced instructors as you build knowledge and leadership skills in:

  • Data collection, coding and quality;
  • Electronic health information management (e-HIM);
  • Information privacy, security and confidentiality;
  • Interpretation and analysis of health data;
  • Patient access to health information;
  • Records and systems management; and
  • Transition to the electronic health record.

Work Experience
The program includes two work-based practicums: one in first year, one in second year. It’s a chance to apply your new knowledge and skills in an actual health agency setting. By the time you graduate, you’ll already have 15 weeks of real-world experience - something you can highlight to potential employers.

Diploma to Degree
Use your Saskatchewan Polytechnic diploma to transfer into the third year of a four-year Kinesiology, Health Studies or Arts degree program at the University of Regina or First Nations University of Canada.
