Spotlight on HIM Trends and Challenges

August 03, 2012

This week, HealthPort sponsored its first HIM Educational Summit which was a huge success!  We were very impressed by the HealthPort staff and industry experts that presented the “Hot” topics of importance to HIM professionals. 

As part of our media coverage from the Summit, I provided my take on what role HIM plays in healthcare today, and how this might change in light of healthcare reform in the article, “Spotlight on HIM Trends and Challenges,” which appeared on Billian’s Health Data website.  Click here to read the article in its entirety and let me know if you agree with me.

    I cannot beviele how dumb some nurses can be. we fought for years for respect and acknowledgement of our status and professionals instead of doctors handmaidens and incidents like this set us back.. How can we honestly complain about short staffing when we have time to take pix, play on the computer. and have food fights?? we had nurses fired at our hosp for taking pix of a doc who had just come out of surgery. get a grip folks IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED AS A PRO, THEN ACT LIKE ONE. but PLEASE not as a sports pro..oh, well another story for another time

    Seriously people I thoguht this was America? Land of the free? Nudity and food fights are unprofessional and should not be associated with a facility. To discuss de-identified patient situations is neither illegal or unethical. And before anyone gets all fired up about hipaa, I recommend reading not only hipaa rules, but the glossary that interprets them. It is probably the most widely abused, misunderstood law in the country. Employers love it because they can use it as a pretext to fire employees for illegal reasons.
