Adaptation: The Key To Future HIM Success9/16/2015
It’s a known fact in the animal kingdom that all organisms need to adapt to their habitat to survive. Take the camel, for example. Their long eyelashes, ability to open and close their nostrils, wide feet, fluctuating body temperature, storage of fat (not water) in their humps, plus their sandy color allow them to successfully survive in the harshest of desert conditions. Given the evolving healthcare landscape, it should come as no surprise that HIM professionals will need to adapt and refine their skill sets if they too want to meet the future challenges of the profession. The seismic shifts that are occurring across the healthcare industry are causing significant disruption to the status quo—but this massive change is also creating significant opportunity for HIM professionals.
