Publisher’s Letter Celebrating National HIP Week, April 15-19, 2024

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) which recreated the national celebration of Health Information Professional (HIP) week, we here at RACmonitor and ICD10monitor salute and recognize the important work performed daily by health information (HI) professionals. The national observance is April 15 through April 19, 2024.

HI professionals bring a high level of responsibility and innovation to the endless work they perform to optimize data while helping to improve patient safety.

And as a special offer when you purchase any ICD10monitor webcast, you get a complimentary webcast titled “Unlocking Clinical Documentation Excellence: How to Engage the Provider.”

We salute all you HIP folks.

Here’s to National HIP Week.
