Your input is needed for the health information profession workforce study and identity survey.

The Canadian Health Information Management Association (CHIMA) has designed the health information profession workforce study and identity survey to understand better the current state of the health information profession and the value CHIMA provides its members.

This survey will ask questions about your current position within the profession, and we will ask your perspective on the role CHIMA has in your professional success.

Complete the workforce study to ensure CHIMA has the data necessary to advocate for higher pay, greater visibility of the profession, and career stability for the future.

This survey will take approximately five minutes to complete and is two pages.
