ILHIMA offers various educational opportunities including hot topics meetings, coding roundtables and the ILHIMA Annual Meeting. Below you will find more details about these opportunities. CODING ROUNDTABLES Coding roundtables in Illinois are back, we are excited to again offer coding roundtable webinar/conference calls in 2011.  Currently, ILHIMA is offering two different coding roundtable webinars/conference calls (see list below).  As a participant, you will view the webinar (at a time that is convenient for you) at your location PRIOR to the conference call. The conference call will then be held for one hour at which time the post test will be completed along with discussion on the webinar topic. The $30 fee is per phone line and there is no limit to the number of participants at each location that can view the webinar and participate on the call. Three (3) CEs will be awarded for this coding roundtable. In order to receive 3 CE hours, you must view the webinar AND participate in the conference call. Here's how to take advantage of this educational opportunity: 1) Register on-line at http://www.ilhima.org/education/education.html. 2) After registering, you will receive a confirmation email from the ILHIMA Central Office which will contain a link to access the webinar, along with the meeting handouts and conference call access information. 3) View the complete webinar. 4) On February 23rd, dial in to the conference call to discuss the webinar (access information will be sent in confirmation email after registering). 5) After completing the on-line evaluation, you will receive your CE confirmation sheet.
