Global Trends in Health Information and Records Management Education: A Basic Certificate/Diploma Program in the Philippines
Lourdes L. Palapal
Introduction
What's in this session for me, the participant? This session can create awareness of developing countries' potential for market expansion. 1. Academic institutions can enhance their HIM curriculum if they compare notes with the ICE-HP of the DLSU-HSC on how the curriculum was developed; particularly what inputs were given by target beneficiaries of the program and/or the target users (hospital health information management units). 2. Research and development and/or manufacturing companies can find market for their products and services and enhance data for developing technologies for market expansion. 3. Health service institutions can access data for medical research.
A Case in Point
This particular case is the current program offering a certificate in Health Information Management (HIM). It is offered by the Health Care Governance (HCG) Unit of the Institute of Continuing Education in the Health Professions (ICE-HP) of the De La Salle University-Health Science Campus (DLSU-HSC). This campus is located at the Congressional Avenue, Dasmarinas, Cavite, 4114, Philippines. Guillerma A. Manigbas, MD, MHPEd is the current Acting Dean of the ICEHP.

Background of the ICE-HP

The Institute was established primarily to meet the growing needs of the DLSU-HSC community for advanced training in post-baccalaureate courses without leaving the place of work (in-house) and eventually, to cater to health professionals in Region IV and other institutions in and out of the Philippines that want to pursue graduate studies in their own specialties and interests in order to improve their competence and skills in healthcare delivery. It was approved by the Board of Trustees as the Institute of Graduate Studies (IGS) in September 2002 and was renamed the Institute of Continuing Education in the Health Professions (ICE-HP) in November 2003.
Components of the ICE-HP

The Institute of Continuing Education in Health Professions is made up of three units, with each one focusing on three distinct health service occupations: Health Professions Education (HPEd) Unit: This program aims to produce teachers who will be proficient, dynamic, innovative, and dedicated health professionals. Occupational Health Practice (OHP) Unit: This program aims to produce occupational health practitioners who can provide not only health services in the workplace but more importantly, a safe working environment for workers. Health Care Governance (HCG) Unit: This program, offering a Certificate in Health Information Management, is committed to lifting the standards of the medical record profession in the country. To address the needs of our fellow practitioners in HIM who are now present, let us focus on the program aimed at improving professionals in this particular area.

Teaching and learning activities are centered on application of concepts and principles through
12/1/13
simulated cases in the classroom setting as well as actual visits and management of issues and concerns identified by the participants from their workplace experiences. Supplemental lectures and handouts by content experts are provided as the need arises. Post-course supervision of at least one month is an important part of the course to ensure that the participants will be able to apply the new knowledge and skills. Submission of a special project together with the passing of a written comprehensive examination is a requirement for the completion of the diploma course.
Schedule and Venue of Classes

Since the program is developmental in nature, the schedules are flexible and dependent on the demands and needs of the participants/enrollees. The venue is selected based on the area where a majority of participants choose to hold the activities. An average of 2 certificate courses per year are currently conducted, with the duration of 24-40 hours, depending on the module (Schedule A: 2 weekends; Schedule B: 5 days straight); minimum of 20 enrollees per module.
Advantages to Foreign Students

Quality. The De La Salle University education system is recognized globally for the quality of its teaching methods and systems such that it has produced many graduates who continue to improve the quality of life in communities where they are located. Cost. The expenses cover a processing fee of PhP2,500.00 or approximately $45.00 (US), plus a tuition fee of PhP1,000.00 or approximately $18.00 (US) per unit. Thus, the estimate costs of the programs would be: Certificate in HIM (6 Units) = PhP8,500.00 or $155.00 (US) Diploma in HIM (15 Units) = PhP17,500.00 or $320.00 (US) Quality work exposure. The wide variety of hospitals practicing health information management in the Philippines present a vast opportunity for students to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to build expertise in health information management. In the spirit of the world famous Filipino warmth and hospitality, foreign students would find that studying in the Philippines is really an integrated educational experience.
