The term is distinct from Health information management in that the latter describes management of information systems (see, for example, electronic health records). The term is synonymous with medical and health services management, which is the official title for the profession used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a master's degree is the "standard credential" needed for these roles. The field is expected to grow faster than average through at least 2016.
