Letter from the Board
Winter 2024
Greetings members!
We thought we would get the winter letter off a bit earlier than usual just to be sure to wish everyone happy holidays beginning with Thanksgiving!
Before we begin with a recap of events from autumn and what to expect in the months ahead, there are a few important rules that need clarification:
- Members and non-members alike must register and pay in full by the day before any of our virtual sessions
- The Board has limited staffing and last-minute registrations are no longer possible
- There have been instances of non-payment and so all fees must be paid in full, in advance of the session
- Tracking paid registrations is how we track CEUs for AHIMA audits
- Links to our virtual events are NEVER to be shared with anyone!
- All registrations are individual
- Group registrations are no longer available
- Attendance will now be taken at all sessions and anyone phoning in will need to identify themselves
- Any attendees not registered and identified on the call will be removed before the start of the meeting
- CEU certificates are NEVER to be shared with anyone
- From now on CEU certificates will be made out specifically to the individual both registered and attending the event
- This too is needed for our audit trail for AHIMA
- PLEASE try to be punctual since attendees constantly needing to be admitted to the meeting while someone is speaking is extremely disruptive to all attending
With all that said, we did enjoy a successful half-day Annual Meeting 2024 for CtHIMA on Friday, November 15th from 8:00 until noon during which Jen Cox bought us up to date on the latest HIPAA enforcement actions, Carl Schiessl recapped both state and federal elections and chatted about what we might expect in 2025. Although there were a few technical challenges, we managed to struggle through our mandated AHIMA updates. Only to learn just today that Dr. Kevin Klauer has made the personal decision to step down as CEO of AHIMA effective November 20, 2024. Lastly, Michelle Badore of Solventum gave us the latest updates as to where things stand with ICD-11 worldwide.
We had scheduled for Wednesday, October 2nd from noon to 1:00 pm a virtual lunch and learn presented by Dr. Nicole Copemann, RHIA, CPC titled “Growth Mindset for HIM Professionals”.
Due to several technical difficulties with our platform we needed to end abruptly and reschedule for Thursday, December 12th from noon to 1:00 pm. In this session, together we will explore the growth mindset concept to discover how it can specifically benefit the HIM professional.
For January we will hold a session titled MHPAEA Final Rule, Comparative Analysis with Codes and Groupers, Why it Matters! on Wednesday, January 15, 2024. The presenter will be Ajay Perumbeti, a multi-specialty board certified physician with a focus on Informatics, A.I. & Precision Medicine for improved Healthcare Value. His career has spanned focus on basic science research in gene therapy, clinical care and leadership in Pediatrics, Hematology Oncology, & Transfusion Medicine, to his current role as Medical Director, Clinical & Economic Research at Solventum (formerly 3m Health). He is proud to be a graduate of UACOM-P Clinical Informatics Fellowship, UA Data Science Fellows, and ASU Health Informatics and Computational Life Science. In the session we will cover:
- Context with Scale of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Problem
- Tell a story of Mental Health Coverage in the United States and Mental Health & Substance Abuse Disorder Parity Act (MHPAEA)
- Introduce MHPAEA Final Rule
- Compare and Contrast MHPHAEA Comparative Analysis with Codes and Groupers
As a St. Valentine’s Day treat, we will be offering another lunch and learn on Friday, February 14th from noon to 1:00 pm presented by Japera Denson titled “Personal Power: Developing the Leader Within”, so be sure to mark your calendars to save the date and time!
Given the success of the half-day Annual, plans are already being made for a half-day “semi-annual” in mid-June to revisit some of the same topics for an update!
Have a peaceful and restful winter season and enjoy the holidays!
