Unlocking the Power of Health Information
How HIM Professionals Strengthen Healthcare Policy, Planning, and Performance
Health systems around the world are undergoing a rapid digital transformation — but data alone doesn’t improve health outcomes. It takes skilled people.
Health information management (HIM) professionals ensure health data is accurate, secure, and usable across clinical care, financing, public health, and policy.
Yet across many countries, they remain underrecognized and underutilized.
This new global campaign from IFHIMA highlights the vital role HIM professionals play, and what needs to change to unlock their full value.
