You do not need to know healthcare to work in healthcare IT. I started my healthcare career with no healthcare knowledge. I never had a health insurance or had been in a hospital in my life once I started to work in healthcare. Health IT certification will probably help you but you still need bachelor degree. What is your bachelor degree and when do you plan to complete your undergrad?
