Students and faculty in State Fair Community College’s Health Information Technology program will observe Health Information Professionals (HIP) Week April 18-24 in conjunction with the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). This year’s theme is “Keeping Health Information Human.”

During HIP Week, health information professionals engage in focused activities at their healthcare organizations and in their communities to raise awareness of their work. In addition, health systems recognize the accomplishments of their health-information team during HIP Week.

You can visit the hipweek.org website to explore first-hand accounts of how health information professionals impact the healthcare ecosystem and patient care. The website also features innovative ideas on advancing patient care and recognizes the professionals and the organizations who support the goal of keeping health information human.

Individuals who wish to recognize a health information professional can donate to the AHIMA Foundation in their honor and AHIMA will recognize them on social media during HIP Week. Follow the hashtag #HIPWEEK21 to see how individuals and organizations celebrate.
