The Coding World in 2020: Part II

Talk Ten Tuesdays is continuing its reporting on the unprecedented changes occurring this decade in the world of healthcare coding.

Coders and health information management (HIM) professionals need to retool in order to meet new challenges brought about by artificial intelligence, as well as by social and political changes already underway. With profound healthcare upheaval taking place here and globally, we asked Ginna Evans, the new president and board chair of the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), to share her 2020 agenda for the group, which represents more than 103,000 HIM specialists in the United States and around the world.
