Welcome to AHIMA Access
After much anticipation, we’re excited to introduce you to AHIMA Access! We think you will find Access to be a modern, robust space where you can connect with fellow HI professionals and dynamic content.
How to Log In
- Go to access.ahima.org and click Login with AHIMA.
- You will be prompted to log in using your primary email and password, rather than your AHIMA ID. (Read the new login FAQs.)
- On your first login you will be asked to acknowledge the End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy.
- You will also be asked to identify which communities you’d like to follow. Simply click the follow button to begin following the content shared in that community.
I’m In! Now what?
- Explore the new topics of interest and domain-based communities.
- Complete your profile with a professional image, such as your headshot, and select areas of interest. For example, following #PatientID will allow you to see posts with that hashtag.
- When you post, be sure to include #hashtags related to the topic. Hashtags are one of the keys to getting the most out of Access. They ensure that other members on Access who are interested in and following that topic will see your post in their feed as well as in search results. To include a hashtag, simply type the # before a word to pull up a list of possible hashtags.
- The most recent posts will populate at the top of your feed. For more posts, visit your communities directly.
- Visit your Component State Association dedicated Access community. (You were automatically added to this.)
If you have more questions about Access, you can explore an article, FAQs, and a demo video on AHIMA.org. There is also a form where you can submit questions about Access.
