Welcome to the NYHIMA Website!

Since 1935, NYHIMA has been dedicated to promoting the professional excellence of its members through education, advocacy, and alliances. As we begin our 75th year, we’re excited about the many changes taking place in the workplace and in the Association.

NYHIMA is a strong and vital organization whose success is driven by the active involvement of its members and the work of its Local Associations, elected Board of Directors, Committees / Taskforces / Sections, and Central Office. Each program and service is designed with our members’ needs in mind. You can look to us to help you stay up to date on HIM issues and address the challenges of your professional growth.

The NYHIMA education calendar and our 75th Annual Conference in Verona in June 2010 will offer you a broad spectrum of opportunities for quality continuing education at a discounted price. Our e-newsletter, Perspectives Online, will be getting a makeover this year to enhance your professional resources experience. The Central Office staff will continue to update and enhance the Website to bring to your desktop a wealth of timely informational assets and a user-friendly format for the exchange of information. The membership directory in the Members Only area will be redesigned to give you additional search parameters for other members’ contact information. A link will be added to the New York geographic CoP on the AHIMA Website to give you additional access to networking opportunities and a message board system where you can post questions, and share ideas or experiences with your peers.

NYHIMA holds several planning meetings each year. The fall Strategic Planning Meeting brings together State and Local leaders to develop the Association’s roadmap for the future. The spring Local Leadership Conference provides an opportunity to participate in leadership development skill building activities to foster Local Association success. The Educators’ Forum, held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting, provides an opportunity for program directors and faculty to come together to network and participate in discussion with speakers from CAHIIM.

These are just some examples of the benefits you gain by being a NYHIMA member. You’re encouraged to take advantage of what is offered to you through Association activities at the Local, State, and National level. Your Local leadership, elected NYHIMA Board of Directors and the Central Office staff stand ready to work with you to achieve a successful membership year!
