IHIMA has gained national recognition through our grassroot efforts. IHIMA was recognized at the 2019 Advocacy Summit in Washington, DC. Lauren Riplinger, JD, Vice President of Policy & Government Affairs at AHIMA, made a special announcement congratulating IHIMA on our grassroot efforts that have grown in our state. Lauren mentioned Indiana had recently had our own Hill Day on March 13, 2019. Here's a short video of the March 13, 2019 IHIMA Day at the Indiana Statehouse.
In September 2019, Indiana made the Top 10! Indiana was #9 out of all 50 states and Puerto Rico with the number of emails sent to Capitol Hill on Tuesday, Sept 24th regarding patient misidentification, “I Support Patient ID Day”. This was another amazing effort by our membership to let our voices be heard! Advocacy in action!
