Demystifying Artificial Intelligence for Health Information Managers
By James F. Jordan
Health information managers play a critical role in health care organizations. They’re responsible for maintaining, collecting, and analyzing health records, optimizing information management systems, and ensuring quality data governance.
With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), health information managers now have powerful new tools to help them perform their functions more efficiently and accurately. AI systems can automate routine tasks like coding medical records, freeing up managers to focus on big-picture data analysis and strategy. AI also enables managers to spot trends and derive insights to improve care and outcomes across patient populations.
By understanding the capabilities of AI and integrating it responsibly into workflows, health information managers can transform how information is managed to serve patients and health care providers better.
This article provides a practical guide to demystifying AI and harnessing its potential to elevate the HIM profession.
