Crowne Plaza Hotel

801 Greenwich Ave, Warwick, Rhode Island

Advancing Information Governance Through Compliance, Privacy & Security, and Analytics

Healthcare is changing rapidly and ensuring trustworthy information is the key to an organization’s success. Information Governance (IG) is needed to ensure that all decisions about information are made in a collaborative, strategic manner. IG is the future for Health Care professionals and HIM leaders. You must begin to learn about the information governance competencies to lead the effort in your organization.

This intense one-day session will provide you with a baseline understanding of IG and will focus on the key competencies of Privacy & Security, Data Governance and Analytics. You will learn how successful Health Care and HIM professionals are making significant progress in implementing IG programs, using their information as a strategic asset, and building a business case for IG. Get hands-on training and begin to develop an IG plan for your organization!

Seven (7) AHIMA CEUs will be awarded for this workshop.
