I would be interested in seeing a panel on non-traditional roles for HIMs outside of medical coding, privacy, and health data analysis. For example, how can HIMs work to improve health research, social determinants of health, public health literacy, or ensure that medical information in AI systems is more accurate going forward? Thanks for considering this topic. ------------------------------ Grace Burwash ------------------------------
