hand. My education is associates
degree, CCS and CCS-P certifications.
|
How did you progress to
your current leadership position?
|
I have held various HIM
roles throughout my 30+ year career. I
started as a coder and worked my way up to HIM director. I also worked several years for contract
companies and went off to work for myself 12 years ago.
|
What are ways that you
motivate and inspire your team? Please
identify what type of team you are referring to (i.e. your direct reports at
work, a committee, a different organization you are part of).
|
My team are the coding
contractors who work for me. I pay
them well and send them little notes occasionally letting them know how
appreciative I am of them. Sometimes
I’ll send them Starbucks gift cards.
|
How do you select a
mentor? What traits do you look for?
|
Someone who is up-to-date
on HIM practices, volunteers at a local, state, or national levels. Must be a good verbal and written
communicator and provide good follow up and patience with people who are
learning the ropes.
|
What professional
organizations are you associated with?
Has your participation in these organizations enhanced your leadership
capabilities? If so, how?
|
EOHIMA, NOHIMA, OHIMA,
AHIMA. I have held various roles at
each of these associations. The
connections I have made over the years enhanced my ability to venture off on
my own. I worked very hard to make a
name for myself through volunteering.
|
What advice would you give
someone aspiring to be a leader?
|
I truly believe leadership
skills are obtained through observing others in leadership roles and going
above and beyond in every work situation.
Never burn bridges and always look for ways to improve whether it be
through additional education or personal research.
