Resumen
Information Systems as a field of academic study has witnessed tremendous growth in scope and depth since its beginning in the 1960s. Diversified information systems job market and widespread use of technology in healthcare organizations indicate a growing demand for IT personnel in healthcare organizations. This paper attempts to present a model for designing curriculum for Healthcare Information Systems concentration for an IT undergraduate program. The design of this curriculum is based on the recommendations of the Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology (ABET) - Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC). This model can be used by any higher educational institute that plans to redesign its IT curriculum to offer specializations. Lessons learnt indicate a need to get employers involved in the design process so that the knowledge and skill areas of the curriculum are responsive to the employers requirements.
