HIM/Medical Records

Once your health information has been collected by your healthcare provider, it then goes to the Health Information Management (HIM) or Medical Records department.

The HIM department is responsible for managing your patient health information and preserving the confidentiality of this information. HIM professionals ensure complete and accurate information for patient care and provide coded information to bill for services provided to you. They also make sure that your health record is maintained securely and in accordance with: state and federal laws, regulatory and accreditation agencies, and community standards for ambulatory records.
