The Keystoner - The Official Publication of PHIMA 

The Board of PHIMA is engaged to keep our membership fully abreast of issues impacting our profession, on a state and national level.  The Keystoner is a quarterly publication of PHIMA that covers items of interest within the association, updates on committees and members, and the status of the local associations within PHIMA.   The Keystoner is distributed via email or can be downloaded. 

Join the association to be added to our distribution list and ensure that this important publication arrives in your personal inbox!  It’s only $20.00 and well worth the added benefits that come with paid membership.

Geographic Pennsylvania Community of Practice 

Another great way to share information with others, ask a question, network with over 400 Pennsylvania-based colleagues and provide feedback on state-wide or national issues is to join the Geographic Pennsylvania Community of Practice (CoP) sponsored by AHIMA.  The Geographic Pennsylvania CoP is an online member interaction tool designed with Pennsylvania’s AHIMA members needs in mind.

The CoP contains up-to-date news, links to helpful resources, and, most importantly, solutions and ideas from peers. It's much more than discussion boards, because there are many tools integrated into this site to help members connect with members. And because it is supported by PHIMA, you can trust the information to be timely, accurate and relevant to health information professionals practicing within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

You must be a member of AHIMA to access the CoP.  For instructions and more information about the CoP, download this helpful how-to brochure to get started.
