Choosing a Health Information Management Program From Norwalk

The subject matter does not change by location: medical coding systems, health data standards and governance, privacy and release of information, and electronic health record systems. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from CAHIIM, the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education, how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
