Sarah Varekojis, Chair Curriculum Committee School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences

This letter is a request for Chemistry 1210 to be removed as a prerequisite for admission to the Health Information Management and Systems (HIMS) undergraduate program. It has been determined that Chemistry 1210 should not be required for two reasons. These are outlined in the following paragraphs.

First, it is expected that the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences Curriculum Committee will approve the removal of Chemistry 1210 as a prerequisite to HTHRHSC 5510 (this approval is pending minor changes to the committee’s course request form, which is being submitted for the committee’s December 2018 meeting). HTHRHSC 5510 is a required course for the students in the undergraduate HIMS program. With the removal of Chemistry 1210 as a prerequisite to HTHRHSC 5510, Chemistry 1210 will no longer be necessary. Second, with the removal of Chemistry 1210 as a prerequisite to HTHRHSC 5510, faculty believe that HIMS students should not be strictly confined in the general education science courses they complete, thus giving them a degree of flexibility pursuant to their general interests. This is consistent with the goal of a liberal arts education.

Attached are copies of the current and proposed curriculum guides for the HIMS program, reflecting this proposed change.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Sincerely, Jennifer H. Garvin, PhD, MBA, RHIA, CPHQ, CCS, CTR, FAHIMA Division Director and Associate Professor

Health Information Management and Systems The School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (SHRS) is a School in The Ohio State University College of Medicine. The School is nationally recognized as a leader in practice-based health care education. For more than five decades, the School has prepared students to achieve personal and professional excellence, as they pursue an exciting career in healthcare.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Health Information Management and Systems (HIMS) is a dynamic major that provides students with a solid business and information systems background with a broad healthcare foundation. HIMS focuses on the business aspects of health related services involving the creation, analysis, management and protection of medical information vital to high-quality patient care. HIMS professionals manage the resources, people, operations and systems that support the administra-tion and evaluation of health services. HIMS graduates pursue dynamic careers in areas related to electronic health records, reimbursement and revenue cycle, fi-nance, quality and patient safety, privacy and security of health information, education, research, and public health. Graduates are in demand and well prepared for competitive positions in all sectors of the healthcare industry including healthcare provider organizations, government agencies, and commercial industry settings such as consulting firms, insurers, business developers and healthcare technology companies.

Students in their last term in the HIMS program sit for the American Health Information Management Association's national certification examination to obtain their Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) credential.

ADMISSION & APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Applicants must meet the following minimum requirements and submit requested materials to be considered for admission. The application deadline for Autumn 2019 is January 31st, 2019. The professional program will begin August 20, 2019.

1. An electronic application is available online at gpadmissions.osu.edu, and must be completed and submitted with all required supplemental documents if applica-ble.

2. A minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA is required in all coursework taken at all accredited institutions. All post-secondary coursework is considered. Although a 2.5 GPA is the minimum, the average GPA is higher.

3. All prerequisite courses or their equivalents must be completed with a C- or higher by the end of summer term, 2019. 4. An informational interview is to be completed with a HIMS professional of your choice. Opportunities at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center can be

found by inquiring at 614-293-9996. 5. A personal interview will be offered to competitive applicants. Knowledge of the profession and personal career goals will be evaluated at that time.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

The minimum total hours to graduate from The Ohio State University is 120 semester hours. The HIMS program requires a minimum of 125* hours barring special circumstances. This includes all general graduation requirements, general education curriculum, admission prerequisites, program prerequisites, and professional curriculum. Remedial, conditional, and repeated coursework do not count towards the minimum hours. *number does not include survey

GENERAL EDUCATION (15 SEMESTER HOURS THAT DO NOT DOUBLE COUNT AS PREREQUISITE COURSES)

SHRS students must complete all General Education (GE) courses before graduating from the University. Some of these requirements may overlap with program prerequisites or professional curriculum courses. The required coursework is listed below: Students are encouraged to double count the global and social diversity GE requirements with other GEs.

Writing (6 hours) Math (4-5 hours) Art (3 hours) Historical Study or Culture & Ideas (3 hours) Data Analysis (3 hours) Literature (3 hours) Science (10 hours) Social Diversity in the US (0-3 hours) Social Science (6 hours) Global Studies (0-6 hours) Historical Study (3 hours) Open Options (6 hours)

PROGRAM PREREQUISITES (47 SEMESTER HOURS INCLUDING COURSES THAT DOUBLE COUNT AS GE COURSESGE)

Students who are first year (freshman) students who wish to apply to the HIMS program should have at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA and have completed the admission prerequisite courses or their equivalent with a C- or higher by the end of summer term, 2019. Students may also substitute appropriate Program Prerequisites for Admission Prerequisites in similar subject areas.

Students who are second year (sophomores) or above who wish to apply to the HIMS program must have completed all prerequisite courses or their equivalent below with a C- or higher by the end of summer term, 2019.

Please note that Math 1148 can not be taken concurrently with Chemistry 1210.

PROFESSIONAL CURRICULUM (63 SEMESTER HOURS)

The professional curriculum is completed in sequence and students may complete the program on a part-time basis . However, there is no provision for evening-only enrollment. The curriculum includes all knowledge and practical skills required for professional credentialing. The program includes extensive supervised practice in medical facilities on and off campus. Students must have transportation and may have to drive significant distances for supervised practice.

SUGGESTED SCHEDULING PLAN

The following plan demonstrates how students may complete the HIMS program in eight semesters. There is flexibility in when a student may take courses in years one and two. However, in years three and four, the curriculum is more structured with only limited ability to change. It is assumed that students following this plan who are admitted to the program will begin professional coursework autumn semester of year three. It is HIGHLY recommended that students take all GE courses before the start of the professional program.

Schedule is based on a traditional 4 year course of study. course offerings are based on a tentative plan and are subject to change.

**The program will give individual consideration in the admission assessment to courses taken and applicant experiences.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

It is strongly recommended that prospective students schedule an appointment with their pre-HRS advisor. If you are not a pre-HRS student, you must complete an online major information session prior to meeting with a pre-HRS advisor. Further information can be accessed online under the Admissions tab. Prospective students such as baccalaureate degree-holders, transfer, international, or those that have time commitment issues such as student ath-letes and band members are strongly encouraged to meet with a pre-HRS advisor to discuss special circumstances which may apply.

Sarah Varekojis, Chair Curriculum Committee School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences

This letter is a request for Chemistry 1210 to be removed as a prerequisite for admission to the Health Information Management and Systems (HIMS) undergraduate program. It has been determined that Chemistry 1210 should not be required for two reasons. These are outlined in the following paragraphs.

First, it is expected that the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences Curriculum Committee will approve the removal of Chemistry 1210 as a prerequisite to HTHRHSC 5510 (this approval is pending minor changes to the committee’s course request form, which is being submitted for the committee’s December 2018 meeting). HTHRHSC 5510 is a required course for the students in the undergraduate HIMS program. With the removal of Chemistry 1210 as a prerequisite to HTHRHSC 5510, Chemistry 1210 will no longer be necessary. Second, with the removal of Chemistry 1210 as a prerequisite to HTHRHSC 5510, faculty believe that HIMS students should not be strictly confined in the general education science courses they complete, thus giving them a degree of flexibility pursuant to their general interests. This is consistent with the goal of a liberal arts education.

Attached are copies of the current and proposed curriculum guides for the HIMS program, reflecting this proposed change.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.
