Sharpen the skills you need to drive a successful transition to an electronic healthcare landscape, while dramatically broadening your “take-charge” abilities in all areas of life with an amazing two-day seminar, Renaissance for the 21st Century: Leading the Change to EHR, presented in conjunction with Care Communications, Inc.

Demands on HIM managers are almost overwhelming as healthcare rapidly transforms towards an electronic practice environment. You possess knowledge of HIM and have good management skills, but in order to become an effective leader in the new electronic environment, you will need to possess equally developed skills in change management, leadership, and project management.

“Every HIM professional should take advantage of the Renaissance seminars! I wish I had experienced it 30 years ago. The seminar provides a fresh and practical approach to understanding yourself and those you work with or manage. It is definitely the seminar for the e-HIM® age!”

Jean S. Clark, RHIA, Service Line Director, HIM Services

Roper St. Francis Healthcare, Charleston, SC
