The Future of HIM Requires Resilienc
e
Share your stories with CHIA
by Maria Alizondo, MOL, RHIT, FAHIMA
Resilience is the “process of adapting well in the face of adversity… It means ‘bouncing back’ from difficult experiences” (APA, 2018). If we reflect on a recent challenge or difficulty, we may be surprised to find that we did in fact bounce back or adapt. We faced the challenge and changed our perspective, attitude, or approach, and then adapted to it and defined the outcome; HIM professionals are good at this. We must stay ahead of the curve in health care, provider demands, and patient’s needs.
Your voice is critical.
We want to hear from you to ensure that CHIA continues to provide networking and education opportunities that align with the HIM roles of the future. Stay tuned for updates on the progress of CHIA’s 2020-2022 strategic planning efforts in the coming months and as we prepare for the 2019 CHIA Convention and Exhibit held in June.
Please answer the challenge when the CHIA Board asks for volunteers to engage in strategic planning activities at the State and CLA level. I sincerely want to hear from you, our members. Send me your feedback, suggestions and stories to

Attorney General Becerra to Hold Public Forums on California Consumer Privacy Act as Part of Rulemaking Process
Office of the Attorney General
On June 28, 2018, Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill 375, now known as the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018. The CCPA grants consumers new rights with respect to the collection of their personal information: a consumer can request that a business disclose what information it collects about the consumer, where it collected the information from, and with whom it has shared the information. Consumers may also request that their personal information be deleted and can opt-out of the sale of their personal information. Businesses are prohibited from discriminating against consumers for exercising their rights under the CCPA.
Participate in Public Forums
The California Attorney General’s Office will hold public forums as part of the CCPA rulemaking process. All members of the public are invited to participate and can RSVP to any of the forums on the RSVP form. Interested persons can also submit comments via email or by mail to the California Department of Justice, ATTN: Privacy Regulations Coordinator, 300 S. Spring St., Los Angeles, CA 90013. Please note that any information provided is subject to the Public Records Act.
