Whats New @ JGH? NATIONAL HEALTH INFORMATION WEEK! The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) will honor and celebrate health information professionals during the 25th annual Health Information Professionals Week March 16‒22, 2014. This year’s theme is “Transforming Healthcare with Information.” Health Information plays a key role in the effective management of health data and medical records needed to deliver quality health care to the public.
