Updated THIMA Bylaws to be Considered during Annual Business Meeting


Recent changes in TN State Law relative to nonprofits and an updated AHIMA Bylaws template have prompted the update of the THIMA Bylaws. The updated version will be presented and considered for adoption at the THIMA Annual Business Meeting on March 9, 2017, during the THIMA 2017 Annual Meeting. The current bylaws are available here

Problems with AHIMA Website


Late last year, AHIMA made several changes to their website particularly to improve MyAHIMA, the CEU Center, and the AHIMA Store. The upgrades resulted in unanticipated problems.

As a result, you may have experienced delays and/or functionality gaps when attempting to submit CEU hours and paying dues. The Customer Relations department has experienced a high volume of phone calls and e-mails, which has resulted in longer wait times than usual. AHIMA is working with their partners to resolve all of these issues.

Here are the new CEU Deadlines:
  • If your recertification cycle ends on December 31, 2016, you have until March 31, 2017, to report your CEUs without incurring a late fee.
  • If you are attempting to reinstate a revoked credential prior to the December 31, 2016, deadline, we have extended the deadline for reinstatement to January 31, 2017.
  • If you are a holder of an AHIMA coding credential (CCA, CCS, CSS-P), the 2016 coding self-review is now available and you will have until March 31, 2017, to complete the self-review.
Membership:

If your membership renewal is due on December 31, 2016, you may renew at any time.

The problems are expected to be resolved by the end of the month. Everyone appreciates your patience.
