The Difference Between Health Informatics and HIM
• Health Informatics is the study of the…• Structure, Dynamics, Design, Implementation and
Maintenance• …of information systems used to support processing
of health data into information suitable for decision making
• … the people, technology, and organizational factors that are applied to those systems

Status of HI in Saudi Arabia• National strategies for adoption and use of EHR
Kingdom-wide• Shift to Electronic (Medical or Health) Records• ICD-10 implementations• Medical Insurance Companies• Public Health Informatics• Consumers Informatics• Summits and Conventions, i.e. Saudi E-Health, Arab
Health, E-HIM, etc… • Associations, i.e. SAHI• Academic Programs

Challenges To HI Professionals• Shortage in HI Professionals• Underestimating the value of HI / HIM
Professionals comparing to other IT or Health related specialties.
• NO Associate Degree, i.e. Coding and HIT• Undergraduate Degree, i.e. HIM

The Difference Between Health Informatics and HIM
• Health information management is the science of managing patient health information and medical records (Paper based or Electronic).
• Health Information Management• HIM FOCUS ON the Dissemination, Communication,
Presentation, Utilization, Transmission and Privacy….. of DATA & INFORMATION and its use
• HIM IS CONCERNED WITH… the Collection, Organization, Validation, Analysis, Storage and Maintenance …..…of DATA
• The Goal of HIM is Quality information = Quality Healthcare
