AI is already transforming how claims are coded across health systems, shifting the conversation from whether automation will impact HIM roles to how professionals can lead that change.

Attendees will gain insight into how these roles build on existing HIM competencies while offering greater influence and compensation. Drawing on real-world experience in education and healthcare consulting, the session provides a practical framework for evaluating current skills, identifying gaps, and preparing for new opportunities. Participants will leave with clear action steps to develop expertise in AI governance, data analytics, and strategic communication to position themselves as leaders in an evolving healthcare landscape.
