In Canada, health information professionals occupy a diverse array of roles that stretch across the entire health care sector. They are employed in hospitals, where they manage patient records, medical coding and ensure the accuracy and privacy of health information, and contribute to health care teams by providing data for clinical decision-making. Beyond hospitals, professionals are vital in a variety of settings including public health organizations, where they analyze data to track disease trends and outcomes, and in clinics and private practices, managing electronic health records and enhancing patient care through information technology.
