AHDI-NEMA

From the Advocacy corner…                              .

As many of you may or may not understand ,the work that we do as Medical Language specialist revolves around us “Working Together for Patient Safety.” This is going to be the theme this year that AHDI and local chapters will be broadcasting for 2012.

This year, the NEMA board would like to participate and become more involved with the Advocacy agenda that AHDI is expanding.  AHDI has been proactive in advocating for years now the critical value and contributory role of the healthcare documentation sector. This has included interest in the Patient Health story, Electronic Medical Record Adoption, Health Information Exchange, Privacy and Security, Workforce Development and Value of the Healthcare Documentation Knowledge Worker.
