In the March print story “Virtual HIM,” Cheryl Servais, MPH, RHIA, discusses the organizational issues in transitioning HIM departments to remote, virtual departments. Servais notes that virtual departments offer organizations operational, financial, and staffing advantages, as well as opportunities to increase levels of service.

Within that article, Deborah Kohn offers a matrix of HIM functions that can be performed remotely and the line-of-business information systems that support them. Kohn, MPH, RHIA, FACHE, CPHIMS, expands that topic in a full web-only feature story.
