Web Based Education to Prepare Health Information Management (HIM) Students in the Realm of Coding
Abstract
For health care, trained personnel is increasingly important, especially health information management (HIM) professionals. Within this group of HIM professionals, the demand is great for in-patient International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modifications (ICD-9-CM) certified coding professionals (coders). The use of an effective integrated information system (IS) is the basis for success in today’s highly competitive health care market. Therefore, preparation of the workforce to handle complexities and sophistication of such IS and HIM is paramount for viability. The current environment for coding is computer based technology. Convergence taking place in computing and telecommunications plays a very important role in this endeavor.
