Description: The healthcare industry is changing rapidly, and technology is playing an increasingly important role when it comes to managing information in this space. HIM professionals have the opportunity to have a poignant impact on the effectiveness of their organization' s digital transformation. Keep in mind that while technology has brought incredible new possibilities, most of those possibilities are built on the back of high-quality health information. In order for healthcare organizations to capitalize on these opportunities, HIM leaders must collaborate with IT to enable a policy driven approach to managing the information lifecycle and establish a strong health data foundation. In this session, we'll explore the critical ways HIM professionals can optimize collaboration with IT to help their organization recognize the strategic value of their data and how it can be used to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of healthcare.
