This presentation introduces the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and its expanding role in healthcare, from clinical decision support to administrative efficiency. We’ll explore the benefits and limitations of AI, including risks related to bias, data quality, and over‑reliance on automated tools. Participants will also learn a practical responsible‑use framework that supports safe, ethical, and effective AI adoption in healthcare settings.

Letter from the Board
Winter 2025
Greetings, members!
Hard to believe last quarter’s letter began with “surviving this hot humid weather” now that we are in the midst of some polar vortex and freezing! In fact, a water main just burst here in Waterbury and the pressure is low!
For those who may have missed, it has been a bust autumn for CtHIMA having offered:
- How the Chargemaster Influences Edits and Denials
- Annual Updates to ICD-10-CM/PCS Updates for FY2026
- All About Modifiers
- The half-day CtHIMA Fall Annual 2025
- CMS on Fraud, Waste and Abuse
Still to come, we will be offering on Wednesday, January 7th, the 2026 updates to CPT/HCPCS Level II and then on Wednesday, February 11th, a discussion on using artificial intelligence responsibly.
Now for some sad news! We lost our dear and long-term board member and caring professional colleague, Liz Taylor, who passed away on October 28th. She served not only on our board for many years but also served on several AHIMA and CAHIM (Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management) committees.
No services are scheduled at this time. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Liz’s memory to Tails of Joy, a nonprofit therapy dog organization, at: Support TOJ – Donations – Tails of Joy
Warm regards,
Your CtHIMA Board
