HealthPort Launches New, Online Education Community for Health Information Management and Cancer Registry
ALPHARETTA, Ga.-(Business Wire)-September 21, 2009 - HealthPort, a top-25 company in the healthcare information technology industry, today announced an online healthcare education community specifically designed to meet the continuing education and professional development needs of health information management (HIM) and cancer registry professionals. The new community, HealthPort Alliance, delivers high-quality educational content in an easily accessible and affordable environment.
The Alliance online audio webinars have been approved by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) and where applicable, by the National Cancer Registry Association (NCRA). The Alliance was designed to improve employee retention and reduce training costs for healthcare providers.
“With travel and education budgets being cut in virtually every state, HIM Directors must find new ways to educate their teams and keep them informed, especially in clinical coding,” mentions Torrey Barnhouse, Vice President and General Manager for HealthPort’s Healthcare Consulting Services division. A complete list of 2009 Alliance courses and faculty is available online at: www.healthportalliance.com.
HealthPort values the opinion of its customers and took a collaborative approach to identifying their most important educational needs before launching the Alliance. Customer priorities were incorporated into the online educational program which will continue to expand as new industry trends and important changes emerge such as IDC-10, meaningful use of the EHR, and clinical documentation improvement.
“The Alliance is another example of how HealthPort is leveraging our leadership and expertise in HIM to provide practical solutions for the healthcare provider,” mentions Amber Doster, Vice President of Marketing, HealthPort. “The Alliance will not only help providers meet continuing education needs, but also foster personal growth and expand professional knowledge for key HIM staff,” she concludes.
