Communities of Practice
Connected by Expertise. Driven by Purpose.
AHIMA Communities of Practice bring together health information professionals and subject matter experts across disciplines to collaborate on timely challenges and share practical resources. From patient privacy to AI, these groups help create tools that support patients and professionals alike.
Each community focuses on real-world needs—sharing insights, creating resources, and helping the HI field move forward together.
What We Focus On
With guidance from the AHIMA Knowledge and Practice Advisory Council (KPAC), our CoPs are aligned around
top issues in health information today:
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)
Standardizing how we collect and use SDOH data improves care across communities.
Privacy
As laws evolve, we’re helping professionals stay current and share best practices.
Access to Health Data
We support individuals and families in understanding and using their health information.
Non-Clinical Artificial Intelligence
As AI becomes more common in healthcare, smart governance is essential.
How CoPs Work
Each CoP is led by volunteers who meet regularly to:
- Share ideas and updates
- Develop or revise practical resources
- Contribute to the AHIMA Body of Knowledge
- Exchange guidance with peers and experts
CoPs are powered by members like you who want to
make a difference across the profession.
