Health Information Management Technology by Fatimah I. Uqdah 5 Stars
April 10, 2009
This book is a must-read for those who are interested in pursuing a career in healthcare. It can be a bit technical, but if you're serious you'll appreciate every word. It's a book you should keep and refer to for future reference. There are some typos, and mistakes on chapter answers in back of book, but nothing to fuss about. Very informative if you're interested in a career with health information.

A Must Have by K. Williams (Richmond, VA United States)  2 Stars
December 20, 2008
A boring boring book that makes it hard to keep information learned inside of your head. It doesn't matter though because you must have it to get a degree in HIM. So suck it up and drive on my friends. We'll get through this!!

Consistent, informative book. by M. Sweetz (Brooklyn, NY) 5 Stars
December 07, 2007
I had to read a good chunk of this book for a class I was taking. I felt like the information was presented in a very clear fashion, with plenty of useful and relevant tables and charts, yet still enough text to thoroughly explain the concepts. Of all the classes I was taking at the time, I initially dreaded this one the most, because health information management and technology sounds like a pretty SNOOZE topic (and I've got about 8 music-related books I'd rather be reading).
Surprisingly, though, I began to respect the subject and understand it's importance. As mentioned before, the writing is clear, yet the author doesn't talk down to the reader. No chapter took more than an hour to comprehend (typically 30 minutes). I really can't ask for much more from a textbook (especially one I wasn't too thrilled to be reading in the first place).
If it can satisfy a cynic like me, it can't be THAT bad.
Plus, the information in the 2007 edition has apparently changed little since the 2002 edition. Instead of paying $90.00+ for the former, I paid $2.00 for the latter through Amazon Marketplace...and I still did pretty well on the tests. Ka-Ching!!
You can't beat that!!
