Information Management: Concepts, Principles, and Practice, 2nd
Edition Hardcover: 992 pages
Health Information Management: Concepts, Principles, and Practice is designed to meet the needs of health information administration (HIA) students and educators (or inservice staff training). The second edition of Health Information Management: Concepts, Principles, and Practice, by Kathleen M. LaTour, MA, RHIA, and Shirley Eichenwald, MBA, RHIA , builds on the success of the first edition, the most widely used textbook in health information management baccalaureate programs in the country. Updated and expanded to include information on emerging issues, including RHIO’s (Regional Health Information Organizations) and EHR’s (electronic health records), this book is modeled on the current AHIMA curriculum for health information management (HIM) programs.
The book is based on the model curriculum for AHIMA-accredited, four-year HIA programs. The curriculum, developed by AHIMA's Assembly on Education, mirrors the certification requirements for HIA graduates. The textbook also reflects the information management model recommended by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations -- a model that presents health information management as a concept that encompasses a continuum of activities from collecting patient-specific data to aggregating the data to generate information, comparing the data with data from other sources, and using the data and information as the basis for knowledge development and decision-making support.
