Strategic or business planning for Health Information Management (HIM) builds consensus about where HIM is going, how to get there, and how to know when the vision is achieved.  It should be carried out in preparation for a major new venture and when the environment is changing rapidly.

• Understand the changing roles, functions, and work flow that a migration to an electronic health record (EHR) and eHIM (electronic health information management) brings about
• Create, articulate, and communicate a new vision
• Establish genuine buy-in
• Develop strategies for making the vision a reality
• Strengthen teams
• Focus energy
• Achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness
• Prepare the organization and staff for the changes ahead

Our seasoned HIM professionals will:

• Review background information

• Lead your team through:
  • A scan of social and industry trends, the economic climate, and political and technological factors, as well as customer needs
  • An analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of your organization, as well as the opportunities open to it and the threats that it faces
• Facilitate creation of a bold new vision of HIM
• Facilitate development of an action plan that will result in the realization of that vision
