Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 I agree wholeheartedly with your idea. AHIMA stands for American Health Information Management Association, and they include lots and lots of the HIM people in their association. Unfortunately, I don't see a lot of info regarding transcription on their web site. The Advance for HIM people include more transcription information but also include other members of the HIM team. This is probably just me, but every time I see that Advance web site " AdvanceforHIM " I just cringe. I guess it is the " women libber " coming out in me! Sorry, don't mean to step on any toes out there in MT Land. I also agree with Valeria regarding inclusive (yea)/exclusive (nay) membership in these organizations. 8*) Re: Should we be part of AHIMA and dissolve AAMT? Was: Delivery of the AAMT BOS *nod nod* I get Advance too, and enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the AAMT's pub as well. I'm just thinkin' here...why do we need two orgs? Aren't we (health information workers) stronger united? I mean, maybe if we joined together, we could do things like have group health insurance through the org. In addition, it's really hard for some of us (me) to keep up with two of everything. You know, like pubs, conventions, etc. Wouldn't it be more cost effective to combine? Wouldn't it be more efficient for us to be in the same group rather than branching out, thinning the soup? Are there any old timers here who know what the history of AMIHA and AAMT together is? I mean, there has to be a reason AAMT came into existence. Was it before or after AHIMA? I suppose I could go ask on the AAMT forum but thought it would be cool to discuss this here because the group as a whole isn't biased one way or the other. Then again, I could go ask on MT Daily. Then again, maybe I could just not. LOL Re: Delivery of the AAMT BOS > p.s. I'm new to this field, so forgive me if this is an old idea. Why can't we (MTs) just be part of AHIMA? Seems all other health information folks are part of this org. Are we the only ones to start our own org? Are there good reasons why we shouldn't just be part of AHIMA?

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 LOL....when I typed it out in my message and had HIM in all caps, that thought crossed my mind. HIM could hold a religious meaning, a " big brother " meaning, a " male " meaning...jeesh! Re: Should we be part of AHIMA and dissolve AAMT? Was: Delivery of the AAMT BOS HOOT HOOT HOOT!! GOOD one Jayni!!!!!!!! p.s. Let's just start thinking of HIM as " her imperial majesty. " RE: Should we be part of AHIMA and dissolve AAMT? Was: Delivery of the AAMT BOS Since I'm among friends here, I'm gonna go ahead and show my ignorance: When I saw " advance for HIM " the other day, I thought it had a religious connotation. (I'm laughin' at myself, so y'all can go ahead and laugh with me!)
