The convention is being held September 26-30, and Career Step, an AHIMA Diamond Partner, will be exhibiting in booth 1123 with information on its suite of coding training products, including the Education Enrichment Tool, which is being introduced at the AHIMA Convention.

"We are pleased to be a part of this year's AHIMA convention and are looking forward to discussing how evaluating, educating and expanding HIM teams can help them meet new challenges," said Laurie McBrierty, Career Step Vice President of Corporate Training. "There is a workforce shortage in the healthcare industry, and efficiently building the knowledge and expertise of existing staff can be difficult. To help overcome these obstacles, we are excited to introduce our Education Enrichment Tool, which enables coders to build their expertise without burdening organizations with securing records for practice or subject matter experts for scoring."

Comprehensive reporting is also included, enabling managers to make the best education decisions for their teams.

In addition to supporting the growth and development of the HIM community through training programs, Career Step will be donating $25,000 to the AHIMA Foundation to fund HIM scholarships at this year's AHIMA conference.
