ADVANCED DIPLOMA IN HEALTH CARE INFORMATICS AND MANAGEMENT

(CAREER ORIENTED PROGRAMME SUPPORTED BY UGC)

About the Program

In order to make the current Indian Higher Education System more relevant and career-oriented with focus on quality and excellence, UGC has started re-orienting and reshaping its programs and policies. It is envisaged that professionally qualified graduates with a sound knowledge of their core disciplines and expertise in a concerned skill will have more openings in service industry and self-employment sectors. Demand and scope for such professionally trained graduates are visible in the applied fields of almost all basic/core disciplines and faculties in the current changing global scenario and is likely to increase in the future.

Healthcare technologies have attracted the attention of researchers both in academia and industry in the last decade. It is projected that Healthcare is going to be very prominent service industry in the years to come. There has been an acute shortage of medical facilities in many developing countries, the worst hit being the remote rural population which is almost totally deprived of medical care. This alarming trend prompted the technologists and medical practitioners to come up with solutions where the information and communication technologies can be best utilized.

In order to meet the above goals, there is a strong need to come up with educational programs that addresses the healthcare related domain technologies. In India, the technology courses offered do not specifically cater to the healthcare related developments. It was therefore, perceived that there is a need for systematic and comprehensive training opportunities in the management of informatics in the healthcare sector for everybody involved in healthcare worldwide.
