Book of Style Development Team—Call for Volunteers

AHDI is issuing a call for volunteers to serve on a development team for the next iteration of the Book of Style. Volunteers should be very familiar with The Book of Style for Medical Transcription, 3rd edition, and will discuss layout, current content, and trending topics for potential inclusion. The development team should be comprised of professionals of varying backgrounds, knowledge, and experience with regard to styles and standards, health information management, and technologies such as NLP and EHRs. Volunteers should be available for biweekly/monthly meetings, as decided by the group; provide input and feedback; and conduct research as necessary.

Interested parties should email Kristin Wall (kwall@ahdionline.org) by April 30 with name, credentials, biographical information to include pertinent knowledge and experience that you can contribute to this project, and why you would like to serve on the Book of Style Development Team.

AHDI's Call for Volunteers

If you're thinking of getting more involved in AHDI, there are many rewarding volunteer opportunities available. As a volunteer, you'll be part of something bigger—a community working to protect the integrity of patient health information through continuous workforce development and the support of practitioners and industry partners. You will also benefit by volunteering. It's an excellent way to develop new leadership skills; interact, network, and learn from fellow healthcare documentation specialists; and gain recognition among our diverse community of members.

We invite you to review our 2013-2014 Work Plan. This outlines, in detail, the association’s priorities for this year and the projects for each of our volunteer groups (e.g., committees, task forces, etc.). Once you find an area or two you’re interested in, please complete the Volunteer Application, indicating your preferences. Someone from AHDI will follow up with you shortly thereafter.

We are also in need of social media specialists and a moderator for the AHDI Lounge blog. Contact Kristin Wall, CMT, AHDI-F for further information.
