The health information system provides the underpinnings for decision-making and has the following key functions: data generation, compilation, analysis and synthesis, and communication and use. The health information system collects data from the health sector and other relevant sectors, analyses the data and ensures their overall quality, relevance and timeliness, and converts data into information for health-related decision-making.
The performance of any health information system depends very much on equitable production and deployment of competent personnel in the area of information governance.
This programme has been developed in cognizant with the above considerations, which provide for the identification of appropriate learning outcomes that would lead to acquisition of knowledge, skills and wider understanding of Health Records and Medical Insurance Management in health care practice.
Health information technicians work in acute care and long-term medical
facilities, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and outpatient
clinics. They also work in private doctors' offices, government
agencies, and insurance companies. Tasked with collecting, managing, and
protecting patient data, health information technology professionals
may also work with software companies to develop safe and effective
record collections systems.
