IFHIMA is pleased to share the webcast recording from our May 2020 webcast “IFHIMA COVID-19 Survey Results.” This recording and the questions participants shared during the webcasts are a culmination of the survey work conducted in late March through mid-April 2020. We thank the IFHIMA members for their strong participation and rich comments shared. Click here to review the recording.

Goals for the COVID-19 survey:

• Understand what potentially modified HIM practices and priorities are in our member nations, and individual member countries, in reaction to COVID 19.
• Define differences in previous state vs current state, on a national or regional basis, if relevant and appropriate.
• Document and review our findings based upon individual responses that will be aggregated and use quote if appropriate to add human interest and a storyline.
• Create an IFHIMA “story” based upon the findings in an expeditious fashion, i.e., so they can be presented to the membership in May.
