Dear Colleagues:
Welcome and thank you for your interest in our educational programs and our students!
We are again preparing another graduating class to carry the skills and values they have acquired through hard work and
discipline to serve the needs of health care organizations and their stakeholders. Each class brings intelligence and energy
to the task, and this years graduating class is equal to the challenge of upholding the standard set by those who have gone
before them.
Sadly, the Class of 2013 and the HMI family have also experienced the tragic loss of a classmate, student, and friend,
Aditi Avhad. We carry Aditi in our hearts and strive to maintain the standard of excellence, service, and friendship she
exemplified.
An integral part of the HMI mission is the support of the University of Missouri Health Systems and the School of Medicines mission to improve the health of Missourians while being a leader in the health care field. To this end, HMI has
been involved in research on the efficiency of delivering health care, improvements in quality of health care through
health informatics, and quality improvement projects in which our students participate.
I would like to make a special mention of our students involvement with the HMI teaching mission. In 2012, HMI students approached the department leadership to suggest improvements in the teaching of health management and informatics. HMI leadership then asked students to organize these suggestions, which they did in a very positive way, for
HMI education programs. We then created the Education and Student Services Quality Improvement Group, comprised of students and faculty, to discuss and implement the improvement recommendations.
We are pleased to emphasize the effectiveness of our educational programs in preparing the future generation of health
managers and health informaticians in Missouri. In 2011, we graduated 38 MHA (17 executive and 21 residential), 14
MHI (8 executive and 6 residential) and granted 17 Health Informatics certificates (4 executive stand alone and 13 residential MHA students). An estimated 100% of these HMI graduates from MHA and MSHI programs were employed in
the health care field approximately three months after graduating.
We are proud of the educational programs offered by the HMI Department:

Master of Health Administration (MHA)

Executive Master of Health Administration (MHA)

Master of Science in Health Informatics (MS)

Executive Master of Science in Health Informatics (MS)

Graduate Certificate in Health Informatics

Graduate Certificate in Health Ethics


This years Resume Book profiles students who will graduate in the 20122013 academic year. I would be happy to
speak with you further about our students and academic programs.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI

MASTER OF HEALTH ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM


The University of Missouris nationally ranked Master of Health Administration Program is located in the School of Medicine, which
is recognized for its excellence in research and is ranked as one of the top 10 in the nation in primary care.
The University of Missouri (MU), established in 1839, is the oldest state university west of the Mississippi River. MU is one of
the most comprehensive and diverse universities in the United States. As a member of the Association of American Universities
and a university classified Research I by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, MU is a premier research
institution and provider of professional education.
The Department of Health Management and Informatics combines health services management and health informatics,
one of the few programs in the country to do so. Our mission is to develop, translate, and disseminate knowledge for innovative
and evidence-based solutions to improve clinical, operational, and financial performance in complex health systems.
The Master of Health Administration Program is competency-based and distinctively equips graduates for success through
(a) providing solid grounding in professional and operational knowledge and skills, (b) integrating health informatics throughout the
health services management curriculum, and (c) incorporating overarching complex systems context and analytical approaches. The
residential and executive masters degrees launch and advance patient-centered, improvement-oriented, financially-responsible, and
ethically-grounded careers in evidence-based health services management.
The Accrediting Commission on Education for Health Services Administration (ACEHSA), now the Commission on Accreditation
of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME), has continuously accredited the MHA Program since 1968. The Program admits
diverse cohorts of students from Missouri, other states, and around the world. Whereas the residential masters degree format is a
traditional on-campus residential program, the executive masters degree is offered in a hybrid model featuring both on-campus
and distance learning. In order to prepare for and enable transformational leadership in improving patient care, quality, safety,
value, and overall population health, both the residential and executive formats emphasize fostering an individualized and
collaborative culture of learning, mentoring, and professional development among students, faculty, staff, alumni, and other
practitioners in order to prepare and enable transformational leadership in improving patient care quality, safety, value, and overall
level of population health. Primary post-graduation placement organizations include health systems, hospitals, academic medical
centers, physician group practices, surgery centers, information technology companies, consulting firms, government agencies,
insurance entities, and other points of health services delivery.
Management Internships (residential students)
During the summer between the first and second year of the program, students complete a 12-week internship in an approved
health organization under the guidance of a highly qualified and motivated preceptor. Internships allow students to apply knowledge
and develop the skill sets necessary for becoming successful health industry professionals. The host organization usually pays
student interns a monthly stipend.
Executive Management Study (residential students)
During the second year of the program, student teams work with client organizations to conduct a two-semester operations
management and improvement consulting project that culminates with a final report and set of actionable recommendations .

EXECUTIVE MASTER OF HEALTH ADMINISTRATION


Preparing Todays Health Care Professionals
for Tomorrows Challenges
The management of complex health organizations is among the most difficult assignments in American society today. Increasingly,
the ability to integrate clinical and managerial competencies determines the effectiveness of leaders in these organizations. The
Executive MHA Program in Health Services Management is designed to help meet the growing demand for health professionals
with high-quality management training. The program prepares practicing professionals for executive management positions across
the full spectrum of health care settings. Candidates for the program, which leads to a Master of Health Administration (MHA)
degree, include physicians, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, department managers, and other health care professionals with at least
three years of clinical or administrative experience. The format enables working professionals to maintain full-time employment
while completing the two-year course of study. The program is one of only a few executive programs accredited by the
Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME).
Program Design - The Distance Learning Edge
The programs innovative curriculum and nontraditional format begins in January, combining monthly, three-day weekend,
sessions on campus during the spring and fall semesters and distance learning activities into a comprehensive educational
experience that takes advantage of the strengths of each teaching method. Students participate in novel distance learning activities
using online discussion forums, e-mail, and MU online library resources that complement classroom meetings to create a seamless
learning experience. The integration of information technology into the curriculum allows professionals from throughout North
America to participate in the program and prepares them to respond to technological changes in the health care industry.
Students develop an understanding of technology that is essential for success. The availability of individual instruction permits
even novice computer users to participate fully as they learn the finer points of the emerging technology.

IN MEMORIAM

ADITI AVHAD
Class of 2013

On August 2, 2012, we received the sad and shocking news that Aditi Avhad, about to begin her second
year in the Master of Health Administration program, had lost her life in a highway accident. Aditi had
joined our HMI family in August 2011, and soon made her mark as an outstanding student, colleague,
and kind friend with a wonderful smile and sense of humor.
Upon their return for the start of Fall 2012 classes, Aditis classmates organized a memorial on Tuesday,
August 21, 2012, to assemble a book of memories and mementos for her family and to dedicate a
memorial brick in the School of Medicine courtyard. Aditis father was able to attend, and graciously
met and talked with students, faculty, and staff.

In recognition of Aditis academic work and contributions as a student at the University of Missouri,
Aditi will be posthumously awarded a Deans Certificate at the Spring 2013 HMI Graduation Brunch.

GRADUATE CERTIFICATES
Graduate Certificate in Health Informatics
The Graduate Certificate in Health Informatics, offered by the Department of Health Management and Informatics,
provides learners with the skills necessary to participate in the selection, use, and evaluation of information technology
applications throughout the health services industry. The certificate program is designed for physicians, nurses, managers,
information system designers, consultants, and others committed to the application of information technology for
improving the quality, safety, and efficiency of health services.
The Graduate Certificate in Health Informatics is taught through an online distance-learning format that incorporates oncampus weekend meetings and requires completion of four courses (totaling 12 graduate credit hours):

HMI 7430: Introduction to Health Informatics


HMI 8435: Information Security and Policy in Health Care
HMI 8443: Enterprise Information Architecture in Health Care
HMI 8571: Decision Support Systems for Health Care

The Graduate Certificate in Health Informatics welcomes learners who currently work in health services organizations as
well as University of Missouri graduate students and others who are interested in evaluating, implementing, using, and
managing health information technology. The graduate certificate can also be a stepping stone to Masters or PhD studies
in Health Informatics at the University of Missouri.

Graduate Certificate in Health Ethics


The Department of Health Management and Informatics in partnership with the MU Center for Health Ethics offers an
online Certificate in Health Ethics that requires completion of four graduate courses:

HMI 7564: Health Ethics Theory


HMI 7566: Health Informatics Ethics
HMI 7567: Health Organizational Ethics
HMI 8565: Healthcare Ethics

The Certificate program is ideal for working professionals such as physicians, nurses, healthcare administrators, those
serving on hospital ethics committees or considering such health ethics issues in their daily employment, and students in
the health professions. The Certificate program will help the learner develop an understanding of the ethical issues related
to health and healthcare and will foster skill in analyzing and resolving ethical problems and conflicts in the healthcare
environment. Because courses are entirely online, students may continue fulltime employment while studying for the
certificate.
