Health Information Management (Records/Referrals)
What is Health Information Management?
Health Information Management at PCHC comprises of Medical Records and Referrals and provides a supportive role to the organization. It oversees all facets of the organization’s collection and retention of records assuring privacy and security of each patient’s health information by collaborating with other departments to achieve that assurance. We analyze patient visits for completeness of the record, working with other practices, providers, and practice staff to complete the required documentation requirements. Professionalism and respect for the confidentiality of patient health information are very important aspects of all team members who work within health information management.
