HIM professionals use their expert knowledge and experience on laws and regulations that overall impact the appropriate management of healthcare data. While they ensure the protection of health information, this also allows the right information to be made available to the appropriate individuals who require access to it, which further helps them provide efficient and quality healthcare. As ECLAT Health Solutions continues to celebrate the 30th Annual Health Information Professionals (HIP) week, our [ICD-10 auditors](https://eclathealth.com/index.php/icd-10-auditing/) and [medical coding services](https://www.eclathealth.com/coding-services/) team continue to be diligent with their work to make sure your facility stays on top each day of the year. Here is the importance of HIM professionals and the crucial role they play in health care management: ## Why Being Compliant is Important The security and regulations of health information may become compromised with the ongoing rise of new threats and adjustments in legislation. Health information professionals and providers have the competence to ensure compliance with the many updates and changes in state and federal regulations. This way confidential patient information is able to remain safe and recorded effectively. When health organizations do not comply with the [HIPAA & HITECH regulations](http://hipaa.care/why-hipaa-compliance-matters/), it may lead to serious problems such as increased security breaches and may even reduce the healthcare that’s being provided. ## How Our Offshore Medical Coding Company Maintain Compliance As a current ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliant entity, ECLAT Health Solutions warrants the protection of sensitive health information including patient health information (PHI) as well as financial information through a strict framework of operational policies and procedures for legal, physical, and technical controls for risk management.
