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.
