In some ways, it boils down to this: the CRM or whatever else you
choose to include will become supremely valuable when it's
*required*. Hospitals, for example, must hire AHIMA *certified*
patient records folks (two levels of certification). While the
library and information sciences side doesn't have a certification
per se, the masters degree from an ALA accredited program is a
"certifying" requirement at the professional level of service (no,
they don't need the masters to check out books, and not everyone who
works in a library is a "librarian" anymore than everyone who works
in a hospital is an orderly).
So, where is the CRM a requirement to practice RIM?
