The success of a team of health care professionals will need to have the information organized so that decisions and patient care plans can be made. The health information administrator will bring together data to assist the health care team, the patient, and the administration staff. The student who has interests in computer science, business management, the law, and medicine will find the role of the health information administrator challenging and rewarding.
