Overview

The mission of the Health Information Management program from The City University of New York is to equip students with the skills and knowledge to develop, implement, and manage health information and data for quality care, reimbursement, research, planning, and evaluation.

The rapid transition to electronic health systems have increased the need for healthcare facilities to hire educated and experienced health information management (HIM) professionals. It is crucial for healthcare organizations to employ a clear HIM strategy with the most qualified people at its helm to ensure secure access to data, enhance decision making, maintain financial balance, and improve the quality of patient care and outcomes.
