The purpose of the study was to provide perspective on the changing landscape of information technology professionals due to the convergence of health information managers and health informatics professionals’ roles. Gibson et al. (2015) first reviewed how the definitions and scope of practice of HIM and HIP have evolved. They then compared the similarities and differences of the current competencies for both disciplines. The study also sought to identify the fields that triggered the convergence of roles. Historical Evolution of HIM and HIP Health information managers (HIM) and Health information professionals (HIP) roles were distinct in the healthcare frontier. However, the variation between these positions has become blurry over time due to technological advancements and practice mandate. To explore how HIM and HIP have evolved, the authors examined the modifications in the work scope for the two disciplines over time. According to Gibson et al. (2015), HIM dates back to 1928 when the Association of Record Librarians of North America (ARLNA) was striving to standardize clinical practices to improve patient care. HIM’s role at the time was to collect, aggregate, and retrieve medical data from paper-based records. With the recent technological advances in IT systems, however, HIMs roles have shifted from paper-based to IT-based. The current practice scope for HIMs includes the planning, gathering, aggregating, analyzing, and disseminating information in HIS as opposed to the traditional paper-based data management (Gibson et al., 2015). The research findings by Gibson et al. (2015) were echoed by Brooks (2015). Brooks (2015) linked the HLM’s historical roots to ARLNA, arguing that HIMs roles were rolled out when ARLNA attempted to standardize clinical records. Health information managers at the time would oversee data documentation to ensure that clinical records were complete and accurate. Changes in nomenclature and definitions characterized the historical evolution of HIP. Jen et al. (2020) define HIP as a discipline that applies problem-solving, decision-making, and scientific inquiry principles to improve human health. Initially, HIP was referred to as biomedical informatics (BIM), clinical informatics, or public informatics. Each of these terminologies had unique definitions that identified their respective scope of practice. For example, BIM was described as a discipline that effectively used clinical data to drive efforts to improve human health initiatives. BIM uses scientific inquiry knowledge and problem-solving and decision-making principles to improve population health through medical data. Clinical informatics was elucidated as a specialty that uses IT to provide health services at the point of care. Public health information (PHI), on the other hand, referred to a study field that conducted population surveillance through the mapping of biomedical data in IT to better the populace’s health. The current HIP’s practice scope originates from integrating the three disciplines (BIM, clinical informatics, and PHI). Currently, HIP applies theories and various scientific principles to generate, retrieve, and manage medical data from IT systems to enhance individual and population health. Comparison an
