Discussion

Please read the sample Career Opportunity Requirements and visit  https://my.ahima.org/careermap.  Often different employers have different ideas of what background a (Data, Health, Business Intelligence-BI) Analyst should have…sometimes it’s technology/database to extract data, sometimes it’s accounting/financial, sometimes it’s clinical such as nursing.  There is no standard uniform job description or requirement. 

• Why do you think this sample employer is seeking this amount of experience?
• What could you do to plan on gaining this type of experience for your career development?
• While all HIM professionals do some sort of analysis in their roles, does pursuing a specific data/information analyst position interest you? Why or why not?
