UP-HI (University Partnership for Health Informatics) has been created to educate new health professionals who can assist in the transition from paper to digital records – in the form of patients' electronic health records, prescriptions, best treatments/therapies and more. UP-HI members include the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, College of St. Scholastica and the University of Minnesota-Crookston. The consortium will educate Health Informatics professionals in six different specialties that take 6-24 months to complete with the aim of transformational improvement in the quality, safety, outcomes, and thus, the value of health services in the United States.
