Every day, Health Information Management becomes more vital to the success of healthcare providers. HIM Departments play a central role in the success of strategic initiatives such as ICD-10, EHR and Meaningful Use, RAC Management, Clinical Documentation Improvement, and many others.
And while the pace of change accelerates, thoughtful HIM leaders are already reengineering work processes to increase performance and process efficiencies. Failure to adapt can limit the availability of important clinical information, cause coding backlogs and reduced reimbursement, introduce legal and accreditation risks, and can even harm relationships with patients, physicians and other care providers.
