SBMI Applied MS Earns CAHIIM Accreditation

SBMI的应用健康信息学硕士计划最近被健康信息和信息管理教育认证委员会（CAHIIM）授予认证。上个月在4月12日会议上，卡希姆董事会批准了最初的认证。

The accreditation comes after a comprehensive program review conducted by the Health Informatics Accreditation Council and CAHIIM's Board of Directors. CAHIIM's accreditation process involves a rigorous program evaluation that takes multiple years to complete.

“Earning the CAHIIM accreditation demonstrates to our prospective, current, and former students that our applied master's program meets the standards set by peers from across the U.S.,” noted Susan Fenton, PhD, RHIA, FAHIMA, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Associate Professor and Program Director for the Master's Applied Track. “We are proud to offer students an education that is both relevant and provides current skills required by today's employers.”

AMIA 2019学生设计挑战现已开放

The 7th Annual AMIA Student Design Challenge call for participation is now open. The 2019 theme is: Reinventing Clinical Decision Support. This year, AMIA adopted a new format for the student design challenge that will focus on providing student teams with training and mentoring as they work on articulating their proposed solutions.

AMIA 2019 Student Design Challenge

The five most innovative proposals will be invited to participate in a virtual summer training program. During this program, the teams will be provided with training on topics related to the design of interactive systems in health, including but not limited to methods for understanding human practices and requirements gathering, theories and frameworks related to decision support, design methods, evaluation methods, and others. The training will include virtual lectures, and practical exercises.

在培训计划结束时，团队将提交其最终设计解决方案的扩展摘要，AMIA社区的杰出成员小组将审查和评估拟议的解决方案。将要求所有五支球队参加11月在华盛顿特区举行的AMIA 2019年度研讨会，并在AMIA海报会议期间介绍他们的解决方案。由SDC小组选择的前三支球队将被邀请参加AMIA的正式演讲。

Submissions are due June 15. Visit theAmia网站for more details.
