What Key Stakeholders Are Saying About The Resource:
“The concept of a Health Information Management Lifecycle is an essential underpinning for the increasingly important and complex world of health, health information and its management. The health system depends on information to provide quality care, as well as to support analytics, management and evaluation. Yet, in today’s world there is so much information it can be overwhelming; structure is needed to ensure that we make the best possible use of the information that is available. This reference document provides that needed structure, outlining the health information management lifecycle, its underlying principles and associated best practices. Those who manage health information will find it an invaluable aid in considering many areas of their work including those related to topics such as use, access, disclosure and retention of information.”
