Managing Health Informatics and Services Operations explores management skills and techniques for undergraduate healthcare students and entry-level professionals pursuing a career in the management of health information management (HIM) departments.
Unlike other HIM text which focus on topical areas, this book focuses on the functions found in a health information department and the uniqueness of HIM within the healthcare industry.
Each chapter provides the theoretical foundation for a relevant topic and an applied learning experience that demonstrates a practical application. These include a real-world case study in each section as well as a mini-case study and exercises in each chapter. Students will gain a solid foundation in management while recognizing the differences among healthcare environments, such as hospitals, community health centers, long-term care facilities, clinics, and medical offices
