## Resource

Hospital leaders who view health information management strictly as a back-office coding function are making a massive operational mistake. Modern healthcare depends on accurate data to survive. Protecting that data requires active stewardship. Healthcare IT Today sat down with Mahmoud Suleiman, CEO and Registrar at CHIMA. We discussed the accelerating evolution of the HIM profession. Watch to learn why health systems must transition their teams from transactional encoders into strategic leaders who protect data quality and prevent clinical errors. 🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.
