Health Information Professionals Week

Keep Health Information Human

Health Information Professionals Week

 

Honoring Health Information Professionals Week, April 18 – 24.

A health information professional is a person whose job is to manage all the health information and data relating to a patient in order to ensure that everything is accurate, updated, secure, and accessible. They are like a liaison between medical physicians, the patient, and any third party who might require that information. Health information professionals are the most trusted people because they handle so much sensitive information about an individual, so the responsibility on their shoulders is definitely huge.

The motto of Health Information Professional Week is to “keep health information human”, hence it is a great way to recognize and celebrate all that health information professionals invest in and do to ensure that patients' information is secure and that they receive the highest quality care.

North Shore Health salutes our Health Information Professionals and recognizes them for the wonderful services they provide for our community.
