This paper examines the changes affecting the health information management (HIM) professional skill set and industry demand to determine differences affecting practitioners. As the industry continues to experience technological innovation, the responsibilities of the HIM professional are in flux, affecting the required skill set of the changing environment. This research used the American Health Information Management Association salary survey and current job postings to determine whether the workforce has experienced deskilling and whether a theory-practice-gap exists. It also assesses if industry competencies align with the Health Information Management Reimaged perspectives. The results indicate that the workforce has not experienced deskilling, that a theory-practice gap does exist, and that Health Information Management Reimaged is aligned with industry needs.
本文探讨了影响卫生信息管理（HIM）专业技能和行业需求的变化，以确定影响从业者的差异。随着行业不断经历技术创新，HIM 专业人员的职责也在不断变化，这影响了不断变化的环境所需的技能组合。本研究使用了美国卫生信息管理协会的薪酬调查和当前的工作岗位发布情况，以确定劳动力是否经历了去技能化，以及是否存在理论与实践之间的差距。它还评估了行业能力是否与卫生信息管理再造视角相一致。结果表明，劳动力没有经历去技能化，理论与实践之间确实存在差距，而且卫生信息管理再造与行业需求是一致的。
