Health information technicians gather, analyze, and manage information so that healthcare providers can successfully care for patients. Commonly, health information technicians work in hospitals, medical clinics, health maintenance organizations, public health agencies, home care agencies, and nursing homes. Health information technicians assist health information administrators in managing and reviewing records, compiling data from records to develop various reports, and storing medical records. Generally, these healthcare professionals work with computers and have little contact with patients.
