for Decisions: the HIM Workforce and Workplace - Salaries of HIM Professionals As part of the larger study of the health information management (HIM) profession(s) in the United States, a careful analysis of the geographic penetration of AHIMA-accredited education programs and AHIMA-credentialed professionals was undertaken.

The same data have also been analyzed to determine the extent to which a variety of other measures are significantly related to the numbers of professionals.

This article highlights the roles of current AHIMA members in creating long and short term strategies to increase student enrollemnt and the stature of HIM programs across the country. Back
