Health information management (HIM) is the practice of acquiring, organizing, analyzing, and protecting the health data and medical records used in the delivery of healthcare. It encompasses the systems and processes that ensure clinical and administrative information is accurate, complete, accessible, and secure, supporting patient care, quality improvement, public-health reporting, and research. As health systems increasingly rely on digital records and routine data, the quality and proper management of that information have become essential to sound decision-making and to safeguarding privacy and confidentiality. Research in the journal relevant to this field examines the quality and use of health data within facilities and systems: studies include an assessment of users' perceptions and the factors affecting data quality in a public health facility, and an evaluation of the quality of maternal and newborn health indicators in a regional setting. Related work on quality-improvement strategies in healthcare facilities reflects the broader effort to ensure that the information underpinning care and statistics is reliable. Together this research highlights how data quality and information practices shape health-system performance. This page brings together peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to health information management and the collection, quality, and use of data in healthcare.
