Libman Education Course Author Kelly McLendon Wins AHIMA Triumph Award in Innovation
According to AHIMA, "The Innovation Award honors those individuals, groups or organizations who are focused on moving HI/HIM into the future of the healthcare and wellness industry.
- (1888PressRelease) July 23, 2015 - BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS - Kelly McLendon, RHIA, CHPS, Libman Education course author and well-known consultant and industry expert in patient privacy and security, has won the 2015 AHIMA Triumph Award in Innovation. Each year, the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) Triumph Awards honor professionals who have advanced the field of health information management (HIM). Awardees are chosen for demonstrating extraordinary leadership, volunteerism and talent.
The Innovation Award honors persons or groups who have promoted important advances in areas related to HIM practice, quality data, standards development, patient safety, systems development, and any domain where visionary thinking has made a difference."
"I'm very appreciative of everyone who has supported me in countless ways through my decades of practice," said Kelly, who called receiving the award an honor and privilege. "Nothing done to advance any type of professional practice, including Health Information Management, is accomplished by a single individual in a vacuum. Over the years, I've been able to identify and work with talented, thoughtful professionals who in their own right innovate constantly and are very good at what they do."
Kelly added, "I've always been fascinated with pushing back boundaries and creating new ways of moving forward, which has translated into developing applications and content that are new and different."
Susan Pepple, Libman Education's Vice President and COO, called it "a privilege to work with Kelly to create online and affordable HIPAA training. Kelly developed his courses to answer the specific needs of business associates and healthcare service providers. We appreciate Kelly's ability to look at the same issues from very different perspectives."
"I am always impressed by his commitment to the industry and our profession," she added. "His award is well deserved."
