Robert Gallagher, RHIA, PMP, CPHIMS

I am Robert Gallagher, a dedicated health information technology professional currently completing a Master’s in Health Systems Management at Rush University and preparing to begin the Doctor of Health Informatics program at Rutgers University in Fall 2025. I serve as Manager of Revenue Cycle Applications – HIM at Emory Healthcare, where I lead digital strategy, governance, vendor collaboration, and team development across Health Information Management (HIM), Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI), and coding operations.

With a strong background in health information management, revenue cycle optimization, project management, and the Epic electronic health record (EHR), I am passionate about advancing person-centered care and improving the usability and impact of health IT systems. I strive to inspire and lead change in health informatics by aligning technology with clinical and operational goals to enhance the healthcare experience. 

I am currently seeking adjunct teaching opportunities in undergraduate HIM and healthcare administration programs, where I can help develop future professionals and cultivate a learning environment rooted in collaboration, innovation, and real-world application. My long-term commitment is to healthcare leadership, research, and innovation through education and health information technology. 

I invite you to learn more about my experience, achievements, and explore examples of my academic work. Let’s connect on LinkedIn to discuss potential collaborations and explore opportunities to advance the field of health information management and technology together.
