The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) has inked an agreement to provide management services to the Association of Medical Directors of Information Systems (AMDIS).
AMDIS is the professional association for physicians dedicated to and responsible for health information technology. Under terms of the agreement, CHIME will provide operational, administrative, and staff support to AMDIS in the areas of educational programming, event management, and public policy, as well as marketing/communications and industry relations.
The pact will also provide the chief medical information officer and senior informatics executive members of AMDIS with access to CHIME affiliate-level membership and professional development opportunities, CHIME said.
As part of the agreement, CHIME has appointed Dr. William Bria as its new executive vice president of medical informatics and patient safety. Bria will serve as the liaison between the organizations and also remain chair of AMDIS' board of advisors.
