The world of healthcare information management  is no stranger to change, and never was that more apparent than at the recent annual AHIMA conference and exhibition in Salt Lake City

Whether it was conversations around the upcoming transition to ICD-10 codes, the rumored release of final accountable care organization (ACO) regulations, or the need for qualified, experienced HIM staff - on both the provider and vendor side, the talk of change was almost static in its constancy. The AHIMA organization embraced change at the event, formally introducing Lynne Thomas Gordon as its new CEO.  As CEO, Thomas Gordon plans on listening closely to AHIMA membership and other health partners to identify the challenges and new opportunities that will help AHIMA continue to grow and provide quality healthcare through health information.  

 "The health information technology world has changed rapidly over the past few years," says Thomas Gordon, "with more facilities transitioning to EHRs and achieving Meaningful Use, preparing for the IDC-9 to ICD-10 change, and maintaining the accuracy of data collection for core measures and other quality indicators. At AHIMA 2011, I had the pleasure of sitting down with our members and hearing how they feel about AHIMA and what we can do to support them in their roles. I plan on building a cohesive team that will work together to put the tools in place to measure our future successes."
