January 2012

Do any of you think this weather is strange? Unusually warm, then cold, then light snow, then warm, cold, thunder storms, hail, etc. January is a very different month so far this year. Kind of like our lives in HIM, all over the place at times.

The Annual Meeting Planning Committee has been very busy organizing an outstanding agenda for the education sessions on Wednesday, April 25th and the MoHIMA educational conference sessions Thursday and Friday, April 26 & 27. There will be something for everyone. While ICD-10 may be a strong focus, there is a great variety planned. See more information in our January newsletter and on our web site. I love the “countdown calendar” on the main web page. Check it out!

Of note, this will be our 60th Anniversary and hope to have some special surprises to celebrate during our Annual Meeting in April. If any of our MoHIMA members have stories, pictures, memorabilia, etc. from the past 60 years, please let us know and send to president@mohima.org.

Our Dir. of Public Relations, along with the ICD-10 Task Force, have been working on continual updates for the ICD-10 Corner on the web site. Every month there is great information for our members and they are working on plans to provide updated lists of trainers, education opportunities, etc. Also see the very cool calendar “countdown” on the I-10 Corner site.

One thing I am particularly excited about is our first – Missouri State Hill Day. Lucy and Jane, two of our delegates, have worked hard on this project and a member of HIMSS is joining us in the event. On Monday, January 23, they will head to Jeff City and speak with as many of our state officials as possible. The agenda is to hand out informational fliers, sharing information about our professions, making them aware of who we are. Be watching for details of the momentous day in next month’s newsletter.

I hope you enjoy this month’s and all MoHIMA newsletters. Kathy and her team do an outstanding job each month for sure. But remember, this is YOUR newsletter and all are invited to participate, send in articles, ideas to improve, etc. Let us know what you would like to see in future editions and even on the web site.

Enjoy this very different winter we are having…
