President’s Message — July 2026
Bryce Miller, MSHI, RHIA
Dear ArHIMA Members,
It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as President of ArHIMA once again for the 2026–2027 term. Having previously served in this role, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue working alongside such a dedicated group of health information professionals who are committed to advancing our profession across Arkansas.
Over the past several years, our association has made significant strides in member engagement, advocacy, and student outreach, and professional development. These accomplishments would not have been possible without the passion and commitment of our volunteers, board members, educators, students, and industry leaders. I want to sincerely thank each of you for your continued support of ArHIMA and the health information profession.
As healthcare continues to evolve, so too must our profession. Health information professionals are increasingly at the center of data governance, information management, digital health initiatives, artificial intelligence, privacy, compliance, and healthcare innovation. ArHIMA is uniquely positioned to support our members as they navigate these changes and embrace new opportunities.
This year, our focus will center on three strategic priorities:
- Strengthening the HIM Workforce Pipeline by supporting students, educators, and emerging professionals while promoting career pathways that meet the workforce needs of Arkansas healthcare organizations.
- Enhancing Member Engagement and Value through meaningful educational opportunities, networking events, leadership experiences, and programming that reflects the needs of our diverse membership.
- Strengthening Organizational Sustainability and Leadership Development by investing in mentorship, cultivating future leaders, and ensuring ArHIMA remains a strong and effective organization for years to come.
I firmly believe the future of health information management is bright. By working together, we can continue to elevate our profession, support one another, and demonstrate the critical value health information professionals bring to healthcare.
I encourage each of you to become involved this year by attending an event, joining a committee, mentoring a student, volunteering your time, or simply sharing your ideas. Our association is strongest when our members are engaged and connected.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve. I look forward to working with all of you as we continue advancing the mission of ArHIMA and supporting the health information profession throughout Arkansas.
Sincerely,
Bryce Miller, MSHI, RHIA
2026-2027 ArHIMA President
