There are compelling reasons for implementing Information Governance (IG) across all industries, but healthcare’s needs for managing, controlling, and ensuring integrity of information, are emphasized by the nature of the services provided and the unique challenges faced. In addition, IG in healthcare is critical to meeting the triple aim of quality care for the individual, population health, and lowering the per capita cost of healthcare. It’s also critical to ensuring that healthcare information can be trusted. As the leader in health information management (HIM) for over 85 years, IG for healthcare is well aligned with AHIMA’s strategic initiatives.
AHIMA believes the time has come for the healthcare eco-system to adopt governance of information. Trust in health information depends on it.
IG Boot Camps are one-day, intense, exercised-based meetings that focus on ensuring participants are positioned for success with IG in their organization.
Various dates and locations are available throughout the year. To find a meeting that fits your needs, visit ahima.org/events.
This forum will assist healthcare leaders in building an Information Governance (IG) roadmap. Healthcare organizations and stakeholders need the right information at the right time to make accurate decisions regarding patient care and to optimize business and clinical processes. Yet the role of information, and how an organization’s leaders, front-line staff, patients, and consumers are interacting with that information, is rapidly transforming and is constantly changing. Take advantage of hands-on, practical exercises and in-depth discussions on timely topics that include real-world case scenarios, and essential tools and techniques to help you initiate an enterprise IG strategy for your organization.
