I work in the Health Information Management field. It would be beneficial to add as a minor because right now we are working with many different clients (doctors offices) who are switching from the old paper charts to electronic medical records. In the future many more hospitals and offices will be implementing the same types of systems that we offer. It is definitely the wave of the future. We also offer billing services to doctors. We help them manage their insurance claims, collections, etc. so they can focus on the actual practice of medicine. This is a really common thing within smaller practices (1-10 doctors) that can't afford to employ every type of employee that they need. If you are versed in information management you can offer solutions to your place of employment to cut overhead costs by outsourcing some of the more menial aspects of running a hospital or office.
