Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT) - Find Your Place
Anywhere in Healthcare
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Professionals holding the RHIT credential are health information
technicians who:

Ensure the quality of medical records by verifying their
 completeness, accuracy, and proper entry into computer systems.
Use computer applications to assemble and analyze patient data for
 the purpose of improving patient care or controlling costs.

Often specialize in coding diagnoses and procedures in patient
 records for reimbursement and research. An additional role for
 RHITs is cancer registrars - compiling and maintaining data on
 cancer patients.
With experience, the RHIT credential holds solid potential for
advancement to management positions, especially when combined with a
bachelor's degree.

Although most RHITs work in hospitals, they are also found in other
healthcare settings including office-based physician practices,
nursing homes, home health agencies, mental health facilities, and
public health agencies. In fact, RHITs may be employed in any
organization that uses patient data or health information, such as
pharmaceutical companies, law and insurance firms, and health product
vendors.
