abstract = {Background

Foundational domains are the building blocks of educational programs. The lack of foundational domains in undergraduate health informatics (HI) education can adversely affect the development of rigorous curricula and may impede the attainment of CAHIIM accreditation of academic programs.



Objective

This White Paper presents foundational domains developed by AMIA’s Academic Forum Baccalaureate Education Committee (BEC) which include corresponding competencies (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) that are intended for curriculum development and CAHIIM accreditation quality assessment for undergraduate education in applied health informatics.



Methods

The AMIA BEC used the previously published master’s foundational domains as a guide to creating a set of competencies for health informatics at the undergraduate level to assess graduates from undergraduate health informatics programs for competence at graduation. A consensus method was used to adapt the domains for undergraduate level course work and harmonize the foundational domains with the currently adapted domains for HI master’s education.



Results

Ten foundational domains were developed to support the development and evaluation of baccalaureate health informatics education.



Discussion

This article will inform future work towards building CAHIIM accreditation standards to ensure that higher education institutions meet acceptable levels of quality for undergraduate health informatics education.},
