Synopsis
This textbook is intended to provide practical instruction in management principles from a health information management (HIM) perspective with both theory and practice examples given. This updated second edition is written for HIM professionals at the undergraduate level and is specifically intended for bachelor’s level students in a four-year program. The career goal for most RHIA-eligible students is a management position in the healthcare field. HIM managers are found in all healthcare settings: acute-care, outpatient, long-term care, rehabilitation, and even as vendors. The principles introduced here will provide a foundation and path for sound management practice and decision making.

At the same time, there is recognition of the importance that the human resources (HR) department plays in today's healthcare management environment. Organizations differ on the extent to which managers are requested or required to seek the consult of HR, and a new HIM manager must be aware of the situations that will require input from the HR department. This textbook identifies those situations and offers guidance as to when a new HIM manager should include HR in their decision-making process.
