About Health Information Management Association of Australia
RTO code: 91660
The Health Information Management Association of Australia promotes and supports health information management professionals as the universally recognised specialists in information management at all levels of the healthcare system. We do this through positioning and advocacy, accreditation, education and training, certification and credentialing, quality standards, publications and resources, and HIMAA membership networking activities at local and national levels, including an annual national conference of international standing.
The health information management professional applies their knowledge and skills to create, acquire, analyse and/or manage information to meet the medical, legal, ethical and/or administrative requirements of the health care system. The HIMAA Health Information Manager (HIM) Competency Standards define the knowledge and skills required of a health information management professional. A health information management professional may apply some or all of the HIMAA Health Information Manager (HIM) Competency Standards in their daily professional practice. Two examples of health information professionals are Health Information Managers (HIM) and Clinical Coders (CC).
