President’s Message
Welcome to the 2016 LHIMA Convention! We are so excited to have all of you in Baton Rouge for this
year’s convention! First and foremost, I would like to thank Melissa Norris, the 2016 Convention
Director, along with all of her volunteers for all that they have done to make this meeting a success.
They make the process look so seamless! I would also like to thank all of our Corporate and Lagniappe
Sponsors as well as all of the vendors that support us throughout the year!
What a year this has been! We finally implemented ICD-10! We did it!!! What a major accomplishment!
We hosted the 2015 AHIMA Convention in New Orleans and it was without a doubt a success. It has
been such an honor to be able to serve all of you as President during this momentous year. It has been
a pleasure to be able to advocate for all of you at the national level and voicing your concerns,
representing our CSA in AHIMA’s House of Delegates, and to meet so many HIM Professionals across the
country. I will forever be grateful for this tremendous opportunity. I would like to thank all of the
volunteers that have served on the LHIMA Board of Directors with me, without the work from all of you,
we would not have been able to accomplish all that we set out to do. And last but not least I would like
to thank Ralph Morrison, our Executive Director. Without Ralph I don’t know that any of this would be
possible! I truly appreciate all of his support and guidance!
I encourage each of you to consider volunteering. There are several volunteer opportunities at the
District and State levels. There is a volunteer interest form on the LHIMA website under the member’s
tab that you can fill out and submit. I promise that you will have plenty of mentoring and guidance from
myself as well as my fellow board members. Volunteering has been such a rewarding experience. I
have met so many wonderful HIM Professionals across the state and the nation. It has enriched my life
professionally as well as personally. It is an opportunity that everyone should take time to partake in!
We have some GREAT speakers and topics on our agenda over the next 3 days. We have time for plenty
of education as well as some time for a little bit of fun. I look forward to getting the opportunity to
hopefully seeing and talking with you over the next few days! Don’t forget to come to the President’s
reception dressed as one of your favorite Grease characters! You could win a prize! There will also be a
Hula Hoop contest and play “Name that Tune” with DJ Bob from DocuVoice!
I hope that each of you have a great meeting!!

Incoming President’s Message
Welcome to the 2016 LHIMA Annual Convention! As President-elect, it is a pleasure to have a part in
bringing to you an exciting venue to learn more about, and develop your skills in health information
management. As we address how our core competencies are being shaped by the changes around us
and delve into an understanding of the technology available to support our efforts, we hope that you
will take advantage of all that the team who worked so diligently on this program has provided.
Specifically, I would like to thank Melissa Norris and her team for their tireless efforts in crafting an
agenda that will equip you to be better prepared for the HIM world of the future. I know that we have
all worked very hard to bring the idea of ICD10 to reality and now that it’s here, we hope to bring you
information that will help you become the experts. CDI, Data Management, and Patient Identifiers are
all cutting edge issues for our profession and we want you to have access to the latest and most update
ideas on how to be successful in these areas.
As your President for 2016-2017, I am ready to roll up my sleeves and continue to provide you, our
members, with the necessary tools to be a winner in your work environment. We are an integral part of
the healthcare delivery system. We have the expertise, knowledge and skill that no one else has. We
will support, build on and help you to leverage that knowledge so that you will continue to be a resource
for your organizations.
We are working hard on a program that will continue to provide tools and references that are easily
accessible. We will continue to advocate for your interests and ask that you consider participating in
that effort. You are needed and valued and we want each and every one of you to be an active
participant in LHIMA.
It is my hope that at the end of this meeting you will be encouraged, educated, and excited about what
you have learned and about how you can participate to make our association an organization that meets
your needs.

Presentation Title:
Pre-Convention Workshop:
HIM Professional Competencies – How Do YOU Fit in the Changing HIM Landscape?
Key Note Address:
Reality 2016 and its Effect on our Future as Health Information Management Professionals
Presentation Description:
Pre-Convention Workshop Description:
During this interactive session, participants will complete a self-assessment process to identify personal strengths
and opportunities for improvement based on current HIM competencies. Remaining current and relevant in the
changing healthcare landscape is important both to the individual and the HIM profession. Working individually
and in small groups, this session will offer strategies to transition from lower to higher level competence in new
professional competency domains of practice.
Key Note Address Description:
How do we realize the promise of the HIM profession in a way that meaningfully places HIM as the cornerstone of
data and information management initiatives throughout the healthcare industry? HIM professionals must
evaluate their own professional competence and act accordingly to remain relevant in the changing world of HIM.
Awareness of the need to remain personally current, along with AHIMA’s Strategic Plan and Academic Vision, can
position the HIM profession (and professional) for success in the future.

Aimee Hansen, MA, PhD (c)
Consultant, Framework Strategies
Brief Bio
Aimee Hansen often tells the story of the famed photographer, Dewitt Jones, who is given an assignment to shoot
a field of dandelions for National Geographic. After procrastinating for days, uninterested and unenthused about
what he considers a mundane subject, he grudgingly makes his way to the field. Upon his arrival, he discovers that
he has waited so long to shoot the photographs that the ephemeral field of yellow dandelions has turned to seed.
He has to reframe his parameters for the shoot and look at the field in a different way. He considers his situation a
failure at first. But by changing his perspective, he ends the photo shoot with a prized image: not his initial plan,
but instead a surprising but richer end result.
Aimee has focused her career on guiding and coaching others how to view their work from a different perspective
and how to reframe for the big picture. In addition to working with leaders in the business environment and
serving as an organizational leader herself, she has expanded her practical knowledge to include leadership studies
and theory in academia. Aimee thrives on developing and nurturing the seeds of opportunity in leaders and in
organizations.
Aimee is an Organizational and Leadership coach with extensive experience in the field of human resources and
development. She has served in executive, consultant, and practitioner roles for human resources and
organizational development, most recently at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana. Prior to her work at BCBSLA,
Aimee’s professional experience includes the design and management of organizational Leadership Development
strategies, Succession Planning, and other organizational interventions including purposeful culture change,
strategic planning, and leadership coaching. Aimee’s professional experience extends back 20+ years.

Spokane, Washington. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, with a concentration in
Industrial/Organizational Psychology from the University of Louisiana at Monroe (formally Northeast Louisiana
University, Monroe, Louisiana). She is currently pursuing a PhD in Human Resources/Leadership Development at
Louisiana State University.

Coach Federation.

Presentation Description:

predictor of success? Is it their GPA? Education? Talent? All things being equal – an employee or candidate may
appear the same: same education, GPA, number of years of experience….but WHAT sets one candidate apart from
another? Competencies!

READY OR NOT, CMS SAYS GO: Hospitals to Manage Episodes of Care for Knee and Hip Joint Replacements
Presentation Description:
The proposed Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Model (CJR) would test a new payment model for
episodes of care initiative by hospital stays for hip and knee replacements (also called lower extremity joint
replacements or LEJR). Under the CJR model, hospitals would be at financial risk for the care provided during the
initial hospital stay plus 90 days after discharge from the hospital.
The model aims to support better and more efficient care for beneficiaries undergoing the most common inpatient
joint replacement surgeries for Medicare beneficiaries. This model tests bundled payment and quality
measurement for an episode of care to encourage hospitals, physicians, and post-acute care providers to work
together to improve the quality and coordination of care from the initial hospitalization through recovery.

HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM
On behalf of the Southern University at Shreveport Health Information Technology
Program faculty and myself, I would first like to extend our disappointment in not being
able to attend the 2016 LHIMA State Convention this year due to the unfortunate
budget cuts being experienced all across higher education. I greatly appreciate the
opportunity to share some of the highlights and exciting events that have taken place in
our program over the last year.
The University broke ground on a dedicated Allied Health Building in early 2015
which is slated for completion by the end of 2016. The HIT and Medical Coding
programs will have a new dedicated classroom and lab as well as faculty offices.
Curriculum revisions are ever-evolving to meet the needs of the program’s
communities of interest. With that said, CAHIIM is implementing revised curriculum
competencies and revised Blooms Taxonomy for HIT associate programs which are to
be launched in the 2017 curriculum. Faculty have conducted a labor-intensive “gap
analysis” and course revisions are underway to meet the new competencies.
44
In November 2015, faculty held its Annual Incentive Luncheon for senior clinical
students. The luncheon is to acknowledge the students for performance,
professionalism, and attendance throughout their professional practice experiences.
In December 2015, eight (8) students successfully graduated both the HIT Associate
of Applied Science degree and the Medical Coding Specialist Certificate of Applied
Science. The Healthcare Access Associate certificate program graduated its first two (2)
students in the Spring of 2015 and both were successful in passing the Healthcare
Access Associate national certification exam. Congratulations!
Graduates of the HIT and Medical Coding Specialist programs were honored at the
2015 Annual Pinning Ceremony on December 10, 2015. We would like to thank Ms.
Patty Harper, business and healthcare consultant and CEO of InQuiseek, LLC, who
graciously served as our motivational speaker.
The SUSLA HIT Program collaborated with NWLHIMA to co-host a series of Coding
Round Table Workshops from June through October 2015 at the SUSLA Metro Campus.
Coding topics included myocardial infarctions, hypertension, sepsis, pregnancies and
deliveries, fractures, cardiovascular diagnoses and procedures. Participants were able
to actively engage in code assignments utilizing the 3M coding software in the HIT Lab.
Alpha Sigma Epsilon, the HIT student fraternity, participates in community service
campaigns each year. In 2015, students and faculty participated in a National Night
Out fund raiser and a Breast Cancer Awareness fund raiser.
45
I would like to take a moment to humbly recognize the SUSLA HIT faculty for the
following accomplishments in 2015: Ms. May was promoted to Associate Professor with
Tenure, Ms. Wells was the recipient of the Chancellor’s Rising Star Award, Ms.
Brittentine was welcomed back as a full-time instructor and has served as a presenter
for ICD-10 training for the Nursing Home Association in Louisiana. Ms. Brittentine also
plans to run for Faculty Senator for the Division of Allied Health in 2016.
In closing, we always like to take the opportunity to express our gratitude and
appreciation to the faculty and clinical site supervisors and staff for their dedication,
commitment and collaborative efforts, which together provide students with a pathway
to academic and professional success. We would also like to recognize the LHIMA Board
of Directors and members for their gracious and continued support of the HIT and HIM
programs throughout our state.
To quote Edward Everett Hale – “I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do
everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with
what I can do”.
Thank You,
Kim Newlen-May
Program Director
