Two day HIT Symposium in Austin - January 25th and 26th

TxHIMA is partnering with HIMSS and other organizations for Texas Health IT Day.  We would like to have a unified voice to visit with legislators about HIT, HIE, and HIM issues related to HIM professionals.  Many of our issues that we would like to provide information to the Texas legislators cross organizational boundaries, so we want TxHIMA members to volunteer to visit with their legislators.  Volunteers to sign up to visit with their legislators will be provided with informational packets, appointments, and directions for the event. 

Sign up today to share HIM information with legislators before bills and laws are created that affect our day-to-day business of HIM.  See agenda below.  See you there!

Melinda Teel, TxHIMA Legislative Director
