Legacy of the 'First Lady of HIM' Lives on through Grace Award

摘要

THE TRANSIENT NATURE of memory is greatly influenced by the passage of time, and successive generations often possess only a vague knowledge of what came before them. Thus is the case of Grace Whiting Myers. Many health information management (HIM) professionals today know little about the actual person behind the name attached to the Grace Award—one of the highest honors from AHIMA that will be issued at the 89th Annual AHIMA Convention and Exhibit this month—a name that is synonymous with quality, best HIM practices, and AHIMA itself.
