The Indiana Health Information Management Association (IHIMA) is the premier association of health information professionals in Indiana. IHIMA members are dedicated to excellence in the management of personal health information required to deliver quality healthcare to the public. IHIMA, a 501(c)(6) nonprofit, was first established in 1948 and is the Indiana state affiliate of the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). IHIMA ensures the personal and professional growth of our members and advances the health information management community through networking, education, shared knowledge, and advocacy.

Health information professionals perform diverse roles in healthcare and are employed in a wide variety of work settings including hospitals, physician offices, ambulatory care facilities, managed care facilities, long-term care facilities, consulting firms, information system vendors, colleges and universities, insurance providers, pharmaceutical companies, rehabilitation centers, and other healthcare-related venues. Health information professionals often serve in bridge roles, connecting clinical, operational, and administrative functions. In short, IHIMA’s health information professionals affect the quality of patient information and patient care at every touch point in the healthcare delivery cycle. Having skilled health information professionals on staff ensures an organization has the right health information on hand when and where it is needed while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity, privacy, confidentiality, and security.
 
IHIMA is governed by a Board of Directors and its governing documents include the IHIMA Bylaws.
