Health Information Management, B.S.H.I.M

Health Information Management (HIM) is a healthcare profession that  includes several STEM occupations and combines knowledge and skills from healthcare, informatics, information technology, and business areas such as finance, legal compliance, management, and leadership. Credentialed HIM Professionals work in all healthcare settings alongside clinical and administrative colleagues on interprofessional teams. As healthcare becomes increasingly dependent on data, information, analysis, and technology, Health Information professionals ensure the availability, quality, integrity, usefulness, and security of health information required for evidence-based clinical decisions, reimbursement, compliance, and healthcare business operations. 

Graduates from our programs also have been recruited by federal, state, and local government agencies, software and technology vendors, insurance companies, academic institutions, cybersecurity companies, healthcare reimbursement companies, consulting firms, and many other organizations across the country involved with management of health information and technology. Anywhere health data exists, there is a need for an HIM Professional.
