"Healthcare and nursing informaticists are in high demand, as the healthcare system gradually transitions to electronic record-keeping," BHD editors explain; "For nurses who want a new career direction, nursing informatics is a great choice, while health administrators with computer skills can build those skills with a healthcare informatics degree." The complexity of the shift is a major impediment, since healthcare records have long been kept in physical form. But for professionals who want to move into an area where work will definitely be plentiful for a long time to come, an informatics degree is crucial: "Nurses with master's degrees in health informatics can secure positions as directors, educators, and consultants."  

Best Health Degrees ranked both on-campus and online programs, focusing on the particular advantages of each. According to the editors, "With an online degree, busy nurses and health managers can earn their master's degree around their own schedule, without having to sacrifice their current career." On the other hand, on-campus programs can provide access to resources most people don't have at home, such as computer labs and hands-on instruction. In either case, "Most people in the healthcare industry sign up for a health informatics program as a way of improving or boosting their careers." As the editors explain, "Doctors, nurses, hospital technicians, and even administrators can sign up for a graduate degree in this field." Health and nursing informatics is an occupation that is just getting started.

Best Health Degrees provides current information that aspiring healthcare professionals need to explore their health care career options; to learn what skills and training are required; to find what salary they can expect to make; and to get an edge in landing the best jobs. BHD also ranks traditional and online programs that prepare students for in-demand jobs like nursing, health informatics, health care administration, and more.
