Health information management (HIM) is the discipline of collecting, organizing, protecting, and analyzing patient health data to ensure its accuracy, security, and accessibility for clinical and administrative use. HIM professionals, such as those certified as a Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA), work in hospitals and insurance companies to manage medical coding, billing, and compliance with privacy laws like HIPAA. The field has grown alongside the shift from paper records to electronic health record systems.
