Health Information Management AAS

at Lane Community College

Health Information Management (HIM) is a diverse yet evolving field that incorporates medicine, management, finance, information technology and law into one dynamic career path. Through our flexible, online program, we’ll train you to design and oversee health information systems while ensuring that they meet medical, legal, and ethical standards. You’ll also learn to improve efficiency in health care facilities with medical coding (ICD-10, PCS and CPT) along with billing and reimbursement methodologies. HIM professionals also protect and control the security and quality of records as well as supervise data entry and related personnel. The HIM program curriculum also includes: clinical information requirements; data collection, data retrieval, release of information, health information content and structure; legal requirements, as well as HIM professional standards.
