Personal health information about Canadians is being collected, recorded, reviewed and transmitted daily.
Informed decisions affecting health services can only be achieved with the best information available. The role of health information management goes beyond managing health records to managing the information contained in those records.
Using computer skills and knowledge of healthcare fundamentals, critical medical information is translated from patient health records into data following national data standards. The health information management professional interprets the data to provide comprehensive quality information for patient care, resource allocation, statistics, research, planning and education.
The Health Information Management program provides classroom instruction, laboratory practice with industry-specific software, and clinical practicum placements at established healthcare facilities. With these resources and support, you will be trained to become a competent health information management professional.
