Confidence & Visibility in HIM: Leading with Integrity in Coding, Analytics & Policy

Sheena Yap Chan
Founder of The Tao of Self-Confidence

Health Information Management (HIM) professionals operate at the intersection of data, regulations, patient care, and operations. As demands increase for accuracy, privacy, policy compliance, and analytic insight, professionals must not only have strong technical skills—but also visible leadership, clarity of voice, and confidence to shape policy, guide teams, and influence stakeholders. This session introduces the VISIBLE Framework (Voice, Identity, Spotlight, Inner Work, Belief, Leverage, Elevation) to help HIM leaders elevate their presence and lead with integrity. Through case examples in ICD/CPT coding, revenue cycle analytics, and privacy policy impacts, attendees will explore actionable strategies to enhance data integrity, compliance, and trust. Participants will leave with practical tools to strengthen visibility in their role, improve team collaboration, and better influence organizational policy.

By the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:

• Apply the VISIBLE Framework to strengthen leadership presence in coding, data analytics, or HIM operations.
• Communicate complex coding or policy issues with clarity to diverse stakeholders (e.g., clinicians, administrators, compliance teams).
• Implement practices to improve data integrity, compliance, and trustworthiness in their health information workflows.

Break The Bottle™: Shatter Limitations, Master Solutions Thinking, and Lead with Peak Performance Identity

Michael W. Allison, MBA
Founder & CEO at The Adversity Academy Leadership Development Group

In today’s data-driven and compliance-focused healthcare environments, leaders and professionals face constant pressure, complexity, and burnout. Internal barriers—doubt, fatigue, and mental bottlenecks—can quietly compromise decision-making, accuracy, and innovation. Break The Bottle™ equips attendees to identify and shatter these limitations before they impact performance and patient outcomes. Drawing on Michael W. Allison’s background in battlefield leadership, executive coaching, and corporate strategy, participants will learn the 3-D Framework™—Decision. Direction. Destination. This practical model empowers professionals to shift from reactive “survival mode” to proactive “solutions mode,” ensuring clarity and confidence under pressure.

• Recognize internal barriers that affect decision-making and focus in healthcare and HIM roles.
• Apply the 3-D Framework™ to improve clarity, resilience, and accuracy in high-pressure situations.
• Reframe failure and stress as opportunities for growth and innovation.
• Strengthen professional identity to sustain performance and build trust within teams and organizations.

This session delivers best practices, actionable tools, and case-based insights that participants can immediately apply to advance resilience, engagement, and quality outcomes in their organizations.

Gene Kopczyk
Business Owner and Performance Specialist at DMC LTD

In today’s rapidly changing healthcare environment, success isn’t determined solely by skill or knowledge it’s driven by mindset.

Gene combines neuroscience-based strategies with engaging stories and practical tools to show how small, intentional mental adjustments lead to massive personal and professional results.
