Happy Health Information Professionals Week from TCC!

Welcome to National Health Information Professionals Week, meant to raise awareness about health information professionals and what they do. These information professionals work with patient health data, analyze systems and workflows, and often collaborate with multiple departments and branches of health care.

“It is our commitment to ensuring that health data remains accurate, complete, accessible and protected for every patient,” said AHIMA Board Chair/President Mona Calhoun in a HIP Week video.

Health Information is a field that provides administrative or business-related career opportunities in a healthcare setting with plenty of potential for advancement. TCC’s Health Information programs are structured around a deep understanding of how health information professionals typically advance in their careers. Students can start with a Medical Billing Specialist or Health Records Certificate and go all the way through the Associate or Bachelor of Applied Science degree, all while working in the field.
