Get a Great Job

Health Information Managers have the skills and abilities to accept supervisory positions in health care facilities. They may decide to do the same kind of work as the health information technician or supervise the daily routine of the medical record department, working with the employees to make sure that procedures are carried out correctly. They may be responsible for training employees or evaluating their performance. Other health information managers work as private consultants, or work with various individuals in the health care setting to plan, assure that the facility meets accreditation requirements or serve as coordinators between other departments that deal with health information.

Earnings of health information managers vary by type and size of facility, level of responsibility and geographic region. The middle 50% earned between $62,170 and $104,120. (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2012-2013) Graduates of the program are immediately employable in a variety of health care settings.
