From Marcus Whitney’s opening plea “answer the call” to a standing-room-only session on the last day, attendees at the AHIMA22 Global Conference demonstrated their steadfast commitment to liberating, managing and protecting electronic patient information (EPI).

Patients can officially access their health information digitally without restriction to electronic access. Peers, customers and industry thought leaders are finally able to meet in person again. And a new chapter in health data has begun with health information professionals fully engaged.
