Health information administrators collect, interpret, and protect health data and determine how data are used. They are managers and information specialists who frequently interact with other members of the medical, financial, and administrative staffs. It is their responsibility to ensure that the information system is protected and driven by accurate, up-to-the-minute information.

Students who receive the Bachelor of Science in Health Information Administration are eligible to seek registration as a Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) by successfully passing a national qualifying examination offered by the American Health Information Management Association. RHIA registration is an important credential when seeking employment as a health information administrator.

While many health information administrators are employed in hospitals, others work for insurance companies, long-term care and psychiatric facilities, computer companies, physician group practices, drug companies, and government agencies. They also coordinate quality management programs for health care facilities, teach in colleges and universities, and perform consulting services.
