This book has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the vast technological changes in the field. This text focuses on health data, its collection and use. 

It emphasizes the deployment of information technology and the role of the HIM professional in the development of the electronic health record.

Written for use in several Health Information Management courses within the HIA curriculum, this text emphasizes the deployment of information technology and the role of the HIM professional in the development of the electronic health record.
