Libman Education Releases Results of Annual 2020 HIM Professional Census

BEDFORD, Mass. - June 4, 2020 - PRLog -- Libman Education announced the release of the annual 2020 HIM Professional Census. The online survey captured the opinions and insights of a diverse group of over 1400 individual Health Information Management professionals.

The HIM Professional, the subject of the survey, has a critical role to play in the revenue cycle of our nation's healthcare organizations providing accurate, complete, and defensible data on the patient's condition and the services provided.  In 2020, as the healthcare industry responded to the extraordinary challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic, our nation's HIM workforce was resilient and able to perform the work that needed to be done.

Highlights of the 2020 HIM Professional Census include:

- A broad range of individuals with diverse areas of expertise may be counted as HIM professionals.
- The HIM Professional Census respondents are highly skilled and accomplished.
- Healthcare organizations recognize the importance of a well-trained HIM workforce.
- HIM Professionals recognize their personal responsibility in maintaining their skills and being prepared to assume new responsibilities in the future.
- As HIM professionals plan for their future, education and training are critical to their continued success.
- COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the healthcare industry and individual HIM Professionals.

"A better trained staff will provide greater flexibility for an organization to respond to potential staff shortages or other unforeseen changes," said Susan Pepple, President of Libman Education. "For the individual HIM Professional, up-to-date and enhanced skills means more job security and options for career advancement."
