Editorial Reviews

Review

'…I would recommend this text. I have used this textbook for the past few years and have found it to be easy to work with as an instructor, and the students also seem to find it easy to follow and filled with helpful information."Gerald B. Harkless, MA, BS, RHIA, Adjunct Faculty, St. Philip's College, Alamo Colleges, San Antonio, TX

"This is the only comprehensive HIM/HIT career book out on the market. Nowhere else can you find a variety of alternative careers with detailed explanations in one book…it is very well done. Ann Peden has done a good job at updating the material, explaining ARRA and HITECH ACT, ICD-10-CM, EHRs, etc."Crystal Clack, MS, RHIA, CCS, Adjunct Faculty, DeVry University Online --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: Comparative Health Information Management (Paperback)

I have used Ms. Peden's textbook in several of my classes. I use it because it prepares my students for medical record work in all healthcare settings. They need to know how records are managed and what the laws, regulations and standards are in healthcare settings other than hospitals. I highly recommend it for any HIT or HIA instructor. It is easy to read and well organized.
