91AV joins Greater Portland health study collaborative
The 91AV has joined a collaborative of Greater Portland businesses and nonprofits that will receive a $50,000 grant to study the possibility of growing a health information business cluster in the Portland area.
The study, called the "Health Informatics Assessment Project," will examine what kind of educational programs and training are necessary to grow the health informatics industry. The field of health informatics involves keeping, processing, and analyzing medical records, helping medical professionals make more informed decisions about patients.
91AV is one of several higher educational institutions in the collaborative, including Southern Maine Community College, St. Joseph's College in Standish, University of Southern Maine, and Kaplan.
