Health Information Management: What Business are We In?

Developments in information technology will drive the change in records management; however, it should be the health information managers who drive the information management change. The role of health information management will be challenged to use information technology to broker a range of requests for information from a variety of users, including health consumers. The purposes of this paper are to conceptualise the role of health information management in the context of a technologically driven and managed health care environment, and to demonstrate how this framework has been used to review and develop the undergraduate program in health information management at the Queensland University of Technology.
