Health Information: Management of a Strategic Resource

by Ellen B. Jacobs, Sara Grostick, Mary Alice Hanken

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. With the AHIMA and U.S. government initiative for all patient records to go electronic, this text gives HIM students the education they need to work with the electronic health record. Each chapter begins with a chapter outline, key words, common abbreviations and learning objectives and ends with a key concept summary and references. The 3rd edition includes updated content plus instructional examples from diverse areas of health care delivery, such as long-term care, home health care, and ambulatory care. It also includes a new chapter on industry viewpoints.

I HATED this textbook - Information OVERLOAD and not well organized. My professor wasn't much help either, but I sure wish she would have used a different textbook. Unfortunately this is my major, so I had to suffer through it.
