HIM has been named one of the 20 fastest growing occupations in the United States
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about
this exciting field from a panel of experts, including:
- Cynthia Pugliese, Director of Health Information Management for Hartford HealthCare

event for people living out-of-state who are interested in hearing more about the
program.
Developed by experts in this fast-growing field, Charter Oak's new online bachelor's degree in Health Information Management equips students for the electronic management of sensitive patient health information
and healthcare organization revenue cycles. Once approved by the Commission on Accreditation
for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM), this degree
will prepare graduates to sit for the American Health Information Management Association
(AHIMA) Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) licensure exam. The program
is structured to provide a professional education with a comprehensive curriculum
and is guided by the principle of quality health care through quality information.
