THIMA President's Message
By Donna Coomes, MBA, RHIA, CHPS, CCS, CHC, CPHQ
 It doesn’t seem possible that 2015 is quickly coming to an end. Our professional association has been very busy this year with ICD-10 and I am confident that 2016 will be an exciting year as we focus on Data Analytics and Information Governance education.
We hope that you have registered for the Certified Health Data Analytics exam prep workshop to be held January 27 & 28 in Nashville, Tennessee. Everyone who attends the CHDA workshop will also receive a 25% discount voucher to be used for the CHDA exam. Don’t miss out on this fantastic education opportunity offered here in Tennessee.
Also, don’t forget the Information Governance (IG) boot camp being offered in Nashville on February 12th by THIMA in conjunction with AHIMA!
Congratulations to the 128 Tennessee members who have earned an AHIMA credential in 2015. We are so very proud of each of you!
