MANAGEMENT OF INFORMATION

The provision of healthcare is highly dependent upon information. Individuals, departments and services rely upon accurate and timely information to perform complex, interdependent processes. Important clinical and managerial decisions cannot be made without ready access to valid, reliable, and timely information.

Key players in the development and improvement of information management systems are medical records, data processing, administration, quality management, business office, medical staff office personnel and others. Information management issues are cross-functional and accountabilities are often vague, regardless of whether or not your organization has an information systems department.

Identification of an organization's information needs.
Evaluation of current information systems.
Design of systems to capture and use information.
Analysis of data and transfer of data into information.
