This article provides students with an overview of the Health Information Management(HIM) field, its necessary skills, and its job outlook in the future. For an activity for the students, I would have them read the article and then quiz them on the 4 basic functions of HIM (listed in the article). The key takeaways from this source include the students understanding that HIM is a mix between business, technology, and health as well as the students understanding the different occupations they can choose in this field.

Students begin with an introduction to the electronic health record. Confidentiality and privacy are introduced through an understanding of the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Potential consequences that may occur when confidentiality is breached is explored. Videos that include cases are embedded in this prepared power point.
