title: Job satisfaction of HIMs working in Victorian hospitals.
abstract: The growing demand for Health Information Managers (HIMs) in Victorian hospitals has increased the importance of job satisfaction in maximising performance and ensuring high retention levels both within the profession and the state. This report outlines the results of a job satisfaction questionnaire completed by a sample of HIMs working in Victorian hospitals. The questionnaire focuses on task design, autonomy, performance feedback and professional development opportunities. While the study demonstrates a scope for improvement, it also highlights the general satisfaction of the Victorian HIM population.
