Introduction
People often associate careers in healthcare with those that provide direct patient care. As such, information management is sometimes overlooked despite its increasing importance in the digital era. Health information management (HIM) professionals have skills and competencies in health data management, information policy, information systems, and administrative and clinical workflow.
Our program focuses on the skills and knowledge essential to managing employees and departments responsible for ensuring an accurate and complete medical record with cost-effective methods. The Health Information Management program prepares students for entry-level management positions. They’ll be armed to perform a wide variety of roles from patient competently and physician interaction to the analysis, security, and integration of health information and its use in healthcare facilities, third-party organizations, and government agencies.
