The profession of HIM is constantly changing, offering a variety of opportunities for HIM professionals. Many professionals work from home; however, this opportunity comes with years of experience. As a new HIM professional, you will likely be required to work in an office as opposed to a remote location.
In a discussion board post, debate the importance of gaining traditional office experience as a new HIM professional.
- Why do you think most HIM professionals are expected to work in a traditional office environment when they first begin working in the field?
- What aspects of the HIM profession make it compatible or not compatible with a "work from home" environment? (Hint: It's probably a little of each.)
- What opportunities and benefits does a traditional office environment offer that a "work from home" position might not?
- What role do technology and specialized HIM tools play in this debate?
