Abstract
Maslow's hierarchy of needs, a foundational theory in psychology, presents a five-tier model outlining human needs organized into a hierarchical structure, often depicted as levels within a pyramid. For Health Information Management (HIM) professionals, understanding this hierarchy offers insights crucial to enhancing interactions with patients and colleagues, thereby fostering comprehensive healthcare practices. The hierarchy posits that lower-level needs must be fulfilled before individuals can progress to higher-level needs. HIM practitioners, by recognizing and addressing these hierarchical needs, can establish supportive environments that promote well-being and optimize professional performance. This understanding aids in tailoring healthcare information strategies to align with human motivational dynamics, thereby enhancing patient care and organizational effectiveness. This article explores Maslow's hierarchy within the context of HIM, emphasizing the distinction between deficiency needs (lower levels) and growth needs (higher levels). It discusses how addressing physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization needs can significantly impact HIM practice, from ensuring data security and job stability to fostering innovation and professional development.
