What starting jobs are there for someone with Masters in health information systems management and HIPAA

What starting jobs are there for someone with Masters in health information systems management and HIPAA?
I feel like I'm shooting in the dark. I can tel you what I don't want to be doing - coding, clinical point of care, or data entry. I need technical jobs that are management related. New to the field. My degree is like a "nurse's MBA". I have MBA's and nurses among all of my classes. I really need to be in a technical style job as in digitizing health files. managing health systems, or putting medical records online and such. Also when applying for jobs, should I follow the health industry appearance trends, or the IT ones? Do I have to have the appearance of a nurse when I go to interviews just to work IT inside a hospital? my health info expertise is in HIPAA, and its compliance, safeguards, management and software applications. (think medical record systems) Still working on my program, and might take a latin terms class at the local community college to help me out, but I am being pushed by some to do another degree program in HIT (an "associates" this time, and would take up another 2+ yrs before I could get a job) but I really don't think I need all of the 69 expensive credit hours worth of classes to prove I can do it. I hear what you're saying though. I am pretty versed in the terms even though I don't have a class in it. What I don't know yet is ICD-9 but 10 is coming in soon anyway.

When going for an interview I would recommend you wear standard business attire which would be appropriate for a nurse or IT person, such as a suit. I believe when you apply you need to emphasize your background in the medical field AND as an IT person. I teach medical billing and coding. Now I know you don't want to do that. However, I know that it can be tough to find an IT person who has the medical knowledge to understand what is going on with EMR and managing health systems. I've worked with a number of different software programs for different medical offices as well as billing and coding programs. I have found that many people who design software programs are very nice people and may know about programming computers. However, most of them do not have any kind of medical or billing background and so their products are not user friendly. So in your resume and cover letter emphasize that you know BOTH and I believe that will help you get interviews. And your background in both will ultimately be more important than whether you dress as an IT person or RN. One of the students I just graduated has an IT background. She was an incredible help in the classroom and will be an asset in an office because she was able to figure a way to work around glitches in the program. Some of the programming is not good for reasons I mentioned before. Hope this helps you.

I'm an RN with a Masters and I work in the IT dept of a medical center. You need to dress like you're working in a business envirinment. Regular business clothes. If you're not doing patient care you don't need scrubs.
