How have changing patient demographics and societal factors affected employment opportunities for health information managers?

People are living longer, resulting in the need for long-term care or home health services, both of which create new opportunities for health information managers. More care is being rendered in ambulatory care facilities rather than hospitals, creating additional openings for health information managers in ambulatory services. Employment opportunities for health information managers are moving outside traditional hospital settings, reflecting the trends in patient demographics and societal changes.
