AHIMA Health Information and Privacy Week - Electronic & Computerized Medical Records

Health Information Privacy and Security Week will be held April 11–17, 2010. Check back at this site for 2010 planning kit materials, which will be available by mid-February.

Health information is vital to the delivery of care, and so is keeping it secure. Health information management and technology professionals work diligently throughout the year to ensure valuable information is only available to those who need it and no one else. It’s more than a commitment. It’s a mission, and it’s essential to maintaining the trust of the people and communities we serve. It’s a cause we celebrate and reconfirm each year during Health Information Privacy and Security Week.

The following materials from Health Information Privacy and Security Week 2009 are available for you to print out and distribute to the public as well as healthcare and HIM professionals:
