We know healthcare has been under extreme pressure over the last six months from COVID-19. As a way to say ‘thank-you’ we are hosting our first ever virtual conference, the HealthyData Virtual Academy, where we are aiming to share valuable information and best practices from HIM experts and offering AHIMA CEUs at no cost.
As you know, many industries have had to pivot in this uncertain time, so the theme of the event is re-imagining health information, and will feature a variety of topics ranging from HIM directors sharing how they kept up with demand during the pandemic to information on a safe and effective return to work.
