WHERE BETTER TO EXPLORE TODAY’S

HOTTEST TOPICS

DEAR EXHIBITOR,

Sizing up an industry that is on the edge of constant change is a challenge. The 21st century has brought us a brave, new world indeed! We live in a time where the upside of healthcare is characterized by revolutionary break-throughs and constantly evolving cures. For all its exciting new developments, healthcare’s downside can feel hostile – a place where the “new normal” is comprised of enterprise-wide data breaches, a constant stream of mergers and acquisitions, wide-scale natural disasters, and active shooter incidents.

It is in this spirit that we focus our attention where we are confident that it will do the most good: ourselves and our profession. The theme for the 90th Annual AHIMA Convention & Exhibit is “Inspiring Leadership: Influencing Change.” 2018 will be a year of renewed focus on building relationships, mentoring, and leveraging our strengths to help move the industry forward. As we move forward on the path of HIM leadership in informatics, data analytics, information governance, and consumer education, we invite you to collaborate with us as we create new ways to engage our attendees both in the classroom and in the exhibit hall.

INFLUENCE: The work of our membership is vital to the HIM industry. AHIMA is dedicated to supporting the resources and tools needed to advance health information professional practice and standards in the delivery of quality healthcare. By exhibiting with us and showcasing your HIM products, you can help us advance the cause of quality information in healthcare.

EXCITING NEW ADDITIONS TO THE EXHIBIT HALL THIS YEAR:

Expanded CEU opportunities in the Exhibit Hall

Multi-tiered sponsorship packages to help you engage attendees

Extended dedicated hours and updated exhibit schedule

INSPIRE: By bringing the newest in products and services, we believe you can help us to help position attendees for success in a rapidly changing HIM environment, that will continue to ask us to Re-imagine HIM.

From the welcome reception and our high-profile speakers to our industry sessions on the exhibit hall f loor, the 2018 AHIMA Convention is a key opportunity for you to educate industry professionals and leaders seeking the latest software and/or staffing solutions. We invite you to join us in Miami Beach as we set out to make each day of #AHIMACon18 an exceptional event.

ANSWERS & INSIGHTSNew Solutions and Best Practices

2017 brought a record-breaking number of data breaches, and we saw the industry shift from hospital mergers & acquisitions to closures. As a result of these trends, AHIMA attendees are looking for solutions to their information governance, talent management, and cybersecurity challenges. They’re also looking for tools that will help improve their revenue cycle and clinical documentation. And given how quickly the industry is evolving, they’re hoping to find the leadership and inspiration to help them keep pace with the changes.
