The manual itself is reviewed continuously for updates and revisions by the Legal Reference Manual Committee comprised of HIM professionals from different facilities and companies across the state, as well as a team of legal professionals. Each of these individuals brings their own expertise and experience to the table. This creates a wide body of knowledge from all areas of HIM. The current manual includes 14 chapters that address a variety of HIM-related topics.
