Careers in health information management are among the most varied and rapidly expanding in the health care field. These professionals control, organize and disseminate information and help other health professionals locate and obtain data needed for patient care, research and decision making. Hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices and other health care facilities set up permanent medical records on each patient. A medical record contains the patient's history, physical exam results, x-ray and laboratory tests, doctor's orders, treatment plans, and other important information. Increasingly, this information is stored electronically, requiring information technology professionals with extensive experience in complex computer systems and security policies.
