.
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.
