A long time issue has been this: Where do we find healthcare documentation practitioners and students coming into the field who do not know they have a professioinal association? Who knows best where other MTs are? Existing MTs know other MTs, and their employers know who the MTs are! And how do we get them to take a look at AHDI?
In a campaign just rolling out of our AHDI association, you will see more and more tag lines -- you know, those "sayings" associated with an email signature -- everywhere you look. They will say things like "Want standards? Follow me to AHDI!" and "Need professional resources? Follow me to AHDI!" "Want to become an MT? Follow Me!"
The idea here is to give greater visibility to AHDI and make it an obvious choice as a resource for all things professional. We really do have answers to many of the issues. Just one quick example is the frequent complaint you hear about dictators -- "If someone would please just tell them to speak clearly, calmly and not at 4000 mph!" The result of that request was development of the "Dictation Best Practices Tool Kit." Anyone looking for ways to work more efficiently can check out Benchmark KB for a total resource solution. All that information, all those tools, all those possibilities are there, just waiting for healthcare documentation professionals to utilize.
And when you see something often enough, aren't you just a little bit tempted to check it out? Follow ME to AHDI! And stay tuned in a few short weeks for news of Part II of our campaign.
