## Resource

The health information management (HIM) profession is undergoing a massive worldwide evolution. AI require strict data governance to function safely, putting a direct spotlight on clinical data quality…and right in the wheelhouse of HIM professionals. Healthcare IT Today sat down with Kathleen Rogers, Member & Profession Services Manager, and Danika Bakalich, Director of Workforce Advocacy & Development from the Healthcare Information Management Association of Australia (HIMAA). They unpack the worsening shortage of clinical coders, practical strategies to bridge the graduate training gap, and why health information managers must demand a seat at the executive table. You will also discover why accurate clinical data management is fundamentally an issue of patient safety rather than just a billing exercise. 🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.
