PRE-HEALTH INFORMATION MANAGEMENT


Health care is a business, albeit a special one. Like every other business, it needs good management to keep running smoothly, especially during times of change.

Health information managers use office and management skills to assemble and maintain complete and accurate patient hospital reports as well as review records and code all patient data into computers. They are employed in a variety of health care facilities such as acute care, ambulatory care, long-term care, industrial clinics, health care agencies, and insurance companies.

This program prepares students to enter the Health Information Management associate degree curriculum at Greenville Technical College through an articulation agreement between the colleges.
