0.5 – Informatics, Analytics, and Data Use

As health information roles expand across healthcare, public health, technology, and business settings, the terms “traditional” and “non-traditional” no longer reflect the profession’s full scope. This session introduces the Health Information Continuum as a framework for understanding HI work across the data lifecycle and diverse environments. Participants will explore how continuum-based language supports clearer career pathways, stronger professional identity, and more effective workforce communication.
