The 2022 AHIMA Advocacy Agenda
Our mission of "empowering people to impact health" is rooted in our founder's belief that great possibilities are achieved when we work together toward a common goal.
At AHIMA, our common goal is to transform health and healthcare by connecting people, systems, and ideas. This transformation starts with the most powerful currency for change in the healthcare ecosystem: health information.
Our 2022 advocacy agenda will leverage our knowledge and expertise of health information and influence the public policy environment for the benefit of patients, communities, clinicians, and other stakeholders. Download our agenda to learn more.
Advocacy & Policy Council
The Advocacy and Policy Council advises our leadership and Board of Directors on critical areas for AHIMA’s strategic engagement in advocacy and public policy that align with our mission and vision.
