Health information management is the study of acquiring, analyzing, and protecting medical information which is vital to providing quality patient care. These professionals demonstrate leadership and management of health information in all formats (paper, scanned, and digital formats).
A blend of business and computer expertise, Health Information Management (HIM) links health care clinicians with information technology and is the bridge between patients’ health information and health insurers, state and federal government, and other regulating agencies.
