Abstract

Abstract

Introduction: Health Information Management, as a well-established field of study which has its own voice, genre and journals, introduced itself as an independent and significant field of academia which deals with issues like health classification and terminologies, electronic health records (HER), confidentiality, health systems and technology, and health informatics.
Method: In order to develop Health Information Management Research Article Corpus (HIMRAC), two content experts (PhD holders and university professors) were consulted and they came up with a long list of 15 journals. All articles were published between the time span of 2000 to 2022.
Results: The findings revealed that the most frequent bundle was “at the time of”. From a pedagogical perspective, then, four-word bundles might seem to be a more efficient target structure than shorter bundles, as learners would naturally be exposed to shorter bundles through the learning of longer bundles.
Conclusion: the findings showed that the pragmatic functions of lexical bundles in the corpus of Health Information Management academic texts consisted of three major categorizations; research-oriented bundles, text-oriented bundles and participant-oriented, respectively.
