|
he healthcare delivery system is based |
|
on the organized communication of |
|
information and the overseeing of a complex |
|
organization. The system may be made up of |
|
group medical practices, individual physicians, |
|
clinics, long term care facilities and managed |
|
care organizations. Administrators must be |
|
skilled in financial planning, human resource |
|
management, public relations, and long range |
|
planning. Health information personnel are |
|
often behind-the-scenes specialists with |
|
limited patient contact. These individuals
|
|
gather and analyze data from reports and |
|
patient records. These careers, requiring a
|
|
special flair for
organization and
detail, will |
|
always be in demand
as there is a continuing |
|
need for accurate and
reliable information. |
