For the RHIT student, this book is a must-have. It clears up any questions or misunderstandings that you may encounter. This small book is your oar in a health-filled sea of acronyms.

This review is from: Pocket Glossary of Health Information Management and Technology (Paperback)

Purchased this book with only one review. I must thank the one reviewer because the book came in very handy for me as a RHIT student. It is a small book may be possible to put in your pocket which makes it easy to carry around it you need to study. I agree with the previous reviewer that it is a great resource/study that it is filled with many definitions and acronyms related to terms used HIT classes. It is really a little pocket glossery. Best buy for my RHIT class! Perhaps my only disappointment so far is that I could not find one abbreviation which is SNVDO - Standard Nomenclature of Veterinary Diseases and Operations. However, I found it in another book but I have used this book quite frequently during my course of study.
