Health Informatics Salary Ranges


The Health Informatics field is a broad field which covers clinical informatics and nursing informatics.

Trying to pinpoint a salary in this field, is like trying to pinpoint the salary for an individual who says that he/she works in the medical field.

Obviously, this is a daunting task, because just like the medical field could be anybody from a dentist to a doctor to a nurse to a radiology tech, somebody working in the healthcare informatics field could be an executive, an IT director, a clinical analyst or coding professional, and many others.

Nonetheless I will present the latest salary information as reported by AHIMA in 2010.

When looking at this data, it must be kept in mind that this is a generic overview of what a salary range might be for a specific group within Health Informatics.

For example, a clinician falls in the range of around $67,000 dollars. If we do further research, we can say that somebody in Nursing Informatics, which is subset of Health Informatics, has an average salary of around $70,000 dollars, but that varies by many factors such as experience, job location, and job title, as can be seen in my nursing informatics salary post.

It must be also kept in mind that if a person is an entry level candidate, the salary range will most likely be lower than what appears on this chart.
