健康信息学和数据分析证书使临床医生和健康护理经理以及信息技术（IT）专业人员能够开发和管理健康信息技术系统。证书课程的工作强调了技术对医疗服务的结果和质量的影响。该计划的学生可以专注于一般健康信息学或健康数据分析。此证书使临床医生，卫生保健经理，统计学家，流行病学家，计算机程序员，数据分析师和其他专业人员可以对复杂的卫生保健数据进行分析，包括从电子数据中提取的数据健康记录，理赔数据和消费者生成的数据。由于电子病历和相关数据存储库变得越来越庞大，因此该证书强调了与大数据分析有关的主题。证书中涵盖的数据挖掘，
The health informatics and data analytics certificate prepares clinicians and health care managers, as well as information technology (IT) professionals to develop and manage health information technology systems. Certificate course work stresses the impact of technology on outcomes and quality of health care services. Students in the program can focus on general health informatics or health data analytics.This certificate 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 increasingly 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.
