Where Are the Best Coders? Part II

What if the solution to healthcare’s coding workforce challenges has been hiding in plain sight? The conversation doesn’t end with rethinking who can succeed in medical coding. In Part II of this special Talk Ten Tuesday series, the focus is on how healthcare organizations can get involved . This broadcast will highlight a growing partnership with the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), and outlines how organizations can participate in a neurodiversity-focused coding internship model. Learn what it means to host interns, support neurodiverse candidates, and create structured, sustainable pathways into health information management (HIM) careers. For healthcare leaders facing persistent workforce shortages, accuracy concerns, and burnout, this discussion will move from inspiration to implementation – showing how inclusive workforce strategies can strengthen coding operations while expanding opportunities. If you’re ready to move beyond awareness and explore practical ways to build a more resilient, forward-thinking coding workforce, this is for you.
