Letter from the Board
Spring 2026
Greetings, members!
Spring is finally here! Since our last letter we have offered lunch ‘n’ learn sessions on CPT and HCPCS Level II Code Updates for 2026, the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence, and ICD-10-CM/PCS Code Updates for April 2026. Coming up in the spring we will offer Connecticut State Community College Health Information Management Education in Connecticut Updates from Jill Flanigan, Program Coordinator; Lunch ‘n’ Learn with the State Office of the Attorney General in Connecticut with Patrick Kania; and HIPAA Updates from attorney Dena Castricone. Plenty planned for the summer, so stay tuned! You might want to save the date for our annual in November – November 20th, 8:00 – noon with an agenda to be announced soon.
National Health Information Professionals Week from April 18th through April 24th recognizing those of us in the profession who secure, manage, and analyze patient data ensuring accuracy and protecting privacy. This year’s theme is “Transforming Healthcare with Information” focusing on the electronic health record, the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare, and on information governance.
On an exciting note, CtHIMA is pleased to announce that we are launching the Elzabeth A. Taylor (Liz) scholarship for any student enrolled in the health information management program at the Connecticut State Community College Middlesex. Liz had been a long-time board member, active participant for Commission on Certification for Health Informatics and Information Management (CCHIM) and served on the HIM Advisory Board for the college. The goal would be to have the scholarship be used toward any impediment to completion of the program, preferably outside of normal costs such as tuition. Examples being books and supplies, transportation, housing, childcare, health issues, etc. since these can often greatly hinder a student’s progress and success, particularly an adult student with many competing responsibilities and priorities. Anyone wanting to donate can reach out to Tara at
Warm regards,
Your CtHIMA Board
