Healthcare Information Management Association of the Philippines

What Healthcare Information Management Association of the Philippines does

The Healthcare Information Management Association of the Philippines (HIMAP) is a private, non-stock, non-profit industry association registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission, founded on October 16, 2003 in Taguig City, Philippines. It serves as the unified industry body representing Philippine Healthcare Information Management Services (HIMS) and healthcare IT-BPM providers, having evolved from the Medical Transcription Industry Association of the Philippines (MTIAPI) in 2003 through two subsequent rebrandings (HIMOAP in 2010; current HIMAP in 2015). The organization operates from a small four-person Secretariat (Executive Director plus Project Officer, Project Assistant, and Communications and Events Management Officer) co-located with IBPAP at Bonifacio Global City.

HIMAP's commercial offer is a tiered membership program for healthcare IT-BPM services providers (Php 25,000-60,000/year based on FTE bands of 1-400, 401-1,000, and 1,000+), Vendor partners (Php 50,000/year), and free Association Partners; membership confers voting rights after a six-month residency and access to HIMSCON conferences, HIMAP Awards, capability-building seminars, TESDA ITWSP training pipelines (medical transcription, coding, claims processing), and trade missions such as AHIMA and HIMSS. Member companies span global healthcare IT-BPM majors (Optum, Cognizant, Wipro, TCS, IQVIA, EXL, Teleperformance, Concentrix, Carelon, Shearwater Health, Sagility, Access Healthcare, Datamatics) alongside Philippine firms (Pointwest, Visaya KPO, ADEC Healthcare, Genfinity, Lyric) and one real-estate vendor (Robinsons Offices), totaling 90+ members.

The association derives no productized technology revenue; instead, monetization centers on recurring membership dues, event-driven income from the annual HIMSCON conference (drawing 350+ executives), HIMAP Awards sponsorships, and Hymns of HIMS talent competition programming. HIMAP does not develop proprietary technology; its role is institutional representation, advocacy with government partners (DICT, TESDA, DTI-EMB, PEZA), talent pipeline development, and branding the Philippines as a global healthcare IT-BPM outsourcing destination. The broader sector it represents employs 180,000+ professionals and generates nearly US$4 billion in annual revenue, with a stated 2028 industry target of 285,000 jobs and US$6.7 billion.

Broad incumbents

• AHIMA (American Health Information Management Association): The largest U.S.-based health information management professional association, focused on credentialing, standards, and education for HIM professionals. AHIMA is a broader incumbent peer given its global recognition in HIM, and is explicitly referenced as a HIMAP trade mission partner.
• HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society): A global advisor and thought leader organization for the healthcare IT ecosystem, with a major annual conference and member network. HIMSS is a broader incumbent peer given its global footprint and HIMAP's explicit trade mission partnership.

Regional players

NASSCOM is a regional peer operating in a competing geography with the same industry association model for IT-BPM services.
