Coding Benefits -- Truman Medical Centers Case Study

MoHIMA President Seth Katz's department gets profiled in the clip below:

Working With Our Partners

I wanted to let you all in on one of my goals for this term: I want us to better partner with other healthcare entities in the state.
 
Groups like HIMSS or MGMA or HFMA or ARMA have a lot in common with MoHIMA and we all serve the same general group, trying to make healthcare in our state better, faster, smarter.
 
On August 28th, I had the pleasure of having lunch with the presidents of HIMSS and MGMA for our great state.  They were thrilled with the idea of combing forces and partnering on educational opportunities.  Imagine an Information Governance Symposium with HIMSS or MGMA expert's speaking at our annual meeting. 
 
There's a lot of new and exciting opportunities here and I can't wait to touch base with our partners at HFMA and ARMA.  We're going to put together this little "President's Council" which will continue on in the future and allow us find new educational offerings and speakers on new topics.
