In health information management, we’re constantly learning, adapting, and solving new challenges. But you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
Sometimes the best resource isn’t a manual, a webinar, or a Google search—it’s another HI professional who has been there before.
That’s the idea behind OHIMA Collaborate Communities: creating opportunities for OHIMA members to connect with peers, share experiences, exchange ideas, and learn from one another - all for FREE as an OHIMA member benefit!
Find Your HI Community
Collaborate Communities bring together OHIMA members with shared interests and areas of expertise. They provide a space to ask questions, discuss challenges, share resources, and discover how other professionals are approaching the work.
Currently, OHIMA offers two Collaborate Communities:
⮞ Pediatric Coding Collaborative
Connect with fellow professionals who work in pediatric coding to discuss
challenges, share knowledge, and learn from one another’s experiences.
⮞ Release of Information
Collaborative
Exchange ideas and best practices with professionals working in Release of
Information and connect with others who understand the unique challenges of
this area.
Whether you’re looking for a fresh perspective on a tricky situation or simply want to connect with others who understand what you do, these communities provide a place to start.
Your Peers Are Your Best Resource
Every organization does things a little differently. That’s what makes peer-to-peer collaboration so valuable.
You may have a process that works particularly well for your team. Another professional may have found a solution to a challenge you’re currently facing. Someone else may have a resource or perspective that gives you an entirely new way of looking at a problem.
That’s the power of collaboration.
By participating in an OHIMA Collaborate Community, you can:
- Connect with HI professionals across Ohio.
- Share your experiences, knowledge, and resources.
- Learn how others are approaching common challenges.
- Ask questions and get perspectives from your peers.
- Discover best practices you can bring back to your organization.
- Build your professional network beyond your own workplace.
And you don’t have to be a seasoned expert to participate. Sometimes simply asking a question can start a conversation that benefits an entire community.
Make Your Voice Part of the Conversation
OHIMA is more than an association—it’s a community of professionals who share a passion for health information management.
Collaborate Communities are one more way to make that community stronger.
So, if you’ve ever thought, “I wonder how other HI professionals are handling this…” this is your opportunity to find out.
Join the conversation. Share what you know. Learn from what others know. And help make Ohio’s HI community stronger—together.
