It is time to make the case for health information management (HIM) to be included in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. A careful review of the HIM competencies approved by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) illustrates the role of HIM professionals in informatics, data analytics, and data use. More precisely, the competency subdomains clearly align with content in the STEM disciplines of science, math, and technology, and the individual competencies or tasks in each subdomain solidify the assertion that HIM should be considered part of the STEM disciplines. Evaluation of AHIMA membership data showed that, at the education and work setting levels, AHIMA members are employed in many areas that are common to both HIM and STEM.
现在是时候论证将健康信息管理（HIM）纳入科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教育的理由了。对美国健康信息管理协会（AHIMA）批准的HIM能力进行仔细审查，可以说明HIM专业人员在信息学、数据分析和数据使用方面的作用。更确切地说，能力子领域与科学、数学和技术等STEM学科的内容明显一致，并且每个子领域中的个人能力或任务进一步证实了HIM应被视为STEM学科一部分的观点。对AHIMA会员数据的评估表明，在教育和工作环境层面，AHIMA会员受雇于许多HIM和STEM共有的领域。
