Description:

Created especially for Health Information Management students, this worktext helps to bridge the gap between content knowledge and actual on-the-job HIM principle application. Case Studies in Health Information Management scenarios are based on actual HIM situations and demand "thought" and "action" in order to answer the questions. This critical-thinking approach will help you move from classroom theory to real-life application and analysis of concepts.

Product Benefits:

• Contains over 240 case studies that progress from simple to more complex within each section.
• Cases are organized around seven major HIM topics including Health Data Management and Healthcare Privacy, Confidentiality and Ethical Issues.
• Actual forms are included that emulate what the HIM professional will experience in practice.
• A handy correlation grid is included that illustrates how the case studies cover the AHIMA RHIA and RHIT competencies needed for certification.
