ACDIS update: It’s HIP Week—how are you celebrating?

It’s Health Information Professional (HIP) Week! To celebrate the HIM professionals in your lives, ACDIS put together a list of suggestions to help you show your appreciation for your colleagues:

• Send handwritten, personal thank you notes to each member of the HIM team.
• Organize a CDI/HIM outing to a local restaurant or hold a potluck lunch in their honor at the office.
• Bring coffee and treats to the HIM department in the morning for a celebratory breakfast.
• Take a CDI/HIM team photo and run it in the facility’s print or electronic newsletter.
• Set up and play an HIM trivia game and award prizes to the winners.
• Organize a service project day and get off campus to serve the community.
• Conduct get-to-know-you interviews with your CDI team members hailing from an HIM background and run the interviews in the facility’s newsletter.

Whatever you choose to do, we hope you’ll celebrate the HIM professionals both in the CDI world and outside of it. We appreciate all you do every day. Happy HIP Week!
