January 2012

Dear Colleague---

As IFHIMA’s president for 2010-2013, I would like to invite you to join the  Federation as an individual member for 2012.  Dues remain the same as in the past several years. Please see the updated on line application form for 2012.  And credit card payment is now an option!  We have gone to a yearly membership, from January to December, so dues will be due each January.  This will be an easier system for us to maintain.

 We update the web site regularly.  You will find the most recent information from our Congress in Milan in November 2010, our initiatives for the coming 3 years, our accomplishments, information about our relationship with the WHO-FIC Network and more. 

Please join as an individual and help us promote the development and effective use of the health record around the world—be it electronic or paper.  Help us advance HIM in developing countries, help us work on data quality, accurate coding, and help us promote quality HIM education.

Read the Global News.  Contribute to the Global News.  Contact a board member or regional representative.  We want involvement from HIM professionals from around the world.

Thank you for joining and I look forward to hearing from you.
