Discussion Board #2
AHIMA Competency/Learning Outcome:
Vl.5– Utilize financial management processes (3)
Week Three focuses on Personnel recruitment and reminds me of AHIMA’s 2018 convention in Miami Beach, FL when its focus was on branding. With a new Executive Director who was the previous Executive Director of the American Nurses’ Association, her “call to order” was for AHIMA to rid itself of the RHIT/associate degree (like nursing with the BS/RN vs. LPN challenge) and move its membership to all have RHIAs with bachelor degrees.
Prior to entering the discussion, read: HIM’s Professional Shake-up Wake-up: Moving Beyond Reality 2016 & ‘Reimagining’ HIM for a Quickly Changing Healthcare Industry by Mary Butler; Journal of AHIMA, May 2016: 16-21.
