This year, HIP Week coincides with AHIMA’s Advocacy Summit and Hill Day events, where “AHIMA members receive education specific to advocacy and visit Capitol Hill to advocate with lawmakers on issues related to ensuring patients’ right of access to information and ensuring patient safety through policies supporting improved patient matching.”
Peirce College is also getting involved during HIP Week by sharing knowledge and creating lasting connections. Peirce College’s Health Programs faculty will deliver an educational session at Einstein, one of Peirce College’s corporate partners, on the topic of revenue cycle and correct code assignment. This event’s purpose is to elevate the Health Information Management profession and to celebrate HIP week together.Looking for ways to get involved with HIP Week?
