GHIMA Library
The Georgia Health Information
Management Association has developed a GHIMA Library (distance
education program).
Educational CDs may be checked
out by Regional Presidents, Vice Presidents and Educational
Chairpersons. Regions may check out the CDs no earlier than 2 weeks
prior to the educational session and must return the CDs to the
Central Office no later than one week after educational session.
When returning the CDs, the
region will need to send a list of attendees and a check for the
reimbursement. The charge for each rental CD is $10.00 per person.
The region may keep 50% of the fees ($5.00), the other 50% ($5.00)
is sent to GHIMA.
Once the program is complete,
the participants will be directed to AHIMA’s website to complete a
survey and get their CEU form.
Contact Barbara Jett, GHIMA Central Office Coordinator at
centraloffice@ghima.org
or (770) 926-0769 to check out an educational CD.

The AHIMA
Foundation Greets 2010!
The
Merit Scholarship Program application opens
February 1 through the Foundation Website.
Applicants can view and make input to the online
application as many times as necessary, and save each
revision. The applicant can submit when confident
it is complete, prior to the April 30 deadline.
Foundation scholarships are separate from CSA awards, so
students may apply for and possibly receive both!
In the final 2009 cycle
there were 109 completed applications, from which 64
were chosen as recipients of scholarships. These
are terrific odds. Please encourage all students
in CAHIIM-accredited Health Information programs to
apply.
