On this page the user can navigate to discover ways to improve health information management (HIM) / medical records (MR) practice via my personally customized Web presence to support HIM / MR practitioners in Malaysia and the world by providing:
- Practice guidelines and techniques that affect:
- the quality of patient information and patient care at every touch point in the healthcare delivery cycle when acquiring, analysing, and protecting digital (electronic medical / health records) and traditional medical information (paper-based medical records)
- understanding the workflow in any healthcare provider organisation
- skilled HIM / MR professionals who serve in bridge roles, connecting clinical, operational, and administrative functions
- how any healthcare provider organisation has the right information on hand when and where it is needed while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity, confidentiality, and security
- Advocacy support, and thus enabling HIM / MR professionals:
- have their voice heard on issues that are important to them
- gain access to information
- explore choices and options
- defend and promote their rights and responsibilities
- Learning to acquire new, or modifying and reinforcing, their existing knowledge, behaviours, skills values, or preferences may involve synthesizing different types of information
- Sharing by giving out information and knowledge as an outright gift from these personal web pages as a medium to express opinions or creative endeavours that otherwise would not have an outlet
It is my fervent hope that this personal website blog will advance the HIM / MR profession by advocating the effective use of information management to improve health and healthcare in the communities they serve.
Your pal, friend, and comrade,
