Health care information systems and the people who manage them are much like the nervous system and brain of the human body, transporting and storing information so that the body – or health care organization – can react to and utilize inputs at any moment. Without these systems, the body – or organization – couldn’t operate to its maximum potential.
Through 2016, job growth will increase steadily for the health care managers that oversee the digitization and security of patient records, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.* Not only are IS managers integral, they’re in demand.
