The emerging role that I explored was Information Governance Program Director. This is an emerging career in the information governance section of the HIM careers. Being an

information governance program director means that you could have been promoted or opens the

.door to transition to another job

1. Judge what additional skills or education you would need to qualify for the new role. The training and education that is required would be a Bachelors degree in business or related field. A JD degree is preferred for the position. The work experience that is required is at least five years of relevant experience in the field. Skills that are needed to qualify for the position would be, excellent communication skills, the ability to hand company-wide projects, knowledge of laws and regulations pertaining to the job, and the ability to influence people. Most entry level jobs that someone would start in require these skills, but not to the level the program direct of IG would need. As one progresses through the company they will

   .gain the necessary skills and experience needed

2. Next, go to the AHIMA website and find information on the HIM Reimagined strategy. Assess how that emerging HIM role and skills it will require correlate with HIM Reimagined.

The HIM reimagined strategy helps advance jobs and professionals in the HIM field. This helps ensure standards are being met to ensure everyone is keeping up with the changes. The skills required to become an information governance program director line up with the HIM Reimagined strategy. They both require additional training, and adaptability to the changes that constantly

.happen. The advancement of skills and knowledge in the field help stay competitive
