With a critical nationwide shortage of qualified coders, hiring top-notch health information management professionals is among the greatest challenges facing health facilities administration today. In fact, the American Hospital Association’s annual survey of hospitals consistently shows billing and coding competencies to be among the most difficult positions to recruit and retain.

With facility services representing a significant share of U.S. healthcare costs, coding accuracy and completeness are becoming increasingly important because of their impact on revenues, increasing compliance scrutiny by purchasers and health plans, and the importance of continuous assessment and improved health outcomes. The nationwide shortage of quality coding professionals, unpredictable workflows, and continual change in coding systems, grouping methodologies and payment rules, have created a unique set of health information management (HIM) challenges.
