Health Information Management

Health information management is an integral part of today’s health care environment.

A degree in health information management helps you deliver quality patient care, manage and secure medical records, collaborate with teams of health care providers, and support the efficient operation of hospitals, businesses and insurance companies.

Our program prepares you for the Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) exam. RHIAs collect many kinds of data from a variety of sources, monitor the integrity of the information, ensure appropriate access to health records, and manage the analysis and use of data.

Kean graduates are organizing and securing critical patient information in health care facilities, insurance companies and doctors' offices around the globe.
