Welcome to the Hawkeye AAHAM website. The American Association of Healthcare Administrative Management (AAHAM) stands as the premier organization for leaders and staff involved in revenue cycle management, and I am both proud and honored to serve as the President of Iowa’s Chapter.

Like my predecessors, I am committed to guiding our Chapter toward achieving its fullest potential. I aspire to see our membership grow and learn from each other. One effective strategy for this is to attract new members from various sectors within healthcare, not limited to hospitals. Any organization that engages with patients and handles billing can contribute to our community. Our collective focus is on enhancing the patient experience, managing denials, improving accounts receivable, and effectively managing staff. I envision Hawkeye AAHAM as an organization that truly represents YOU—our members and corporate sponsors.

If you know individuals working in these areas, please encourage them to join us. The more diverse our membership, the greater the opportunity for mutual learning. Membership in AAHAM also facilitates growth through educational sessions that enhance our knowledge and skills. This development not only strengthens us as employees but also equips us to drive improvements in the revenue cycle within our organizations.

Pursuing certification is another excellent avenue for growth. Attaining one of the AAHAM certifications ensures we remain informed about best practices and compliance issues in revenue cycle management. AAHAM offers a variety of certifications, representing a valuable investment in both our personal and professional development. I am eager to hear your thoughts on how we can foster growth within our Chapter! Please feel free to share your ideas with me. This organization belongs to you, and I am here to support you. Together, we can work towards a successful Chapter.

I look forward to seeing you at our conferences!  Hawkeye AAHAM is committed to meeting the needs of our membership, providing information that is useful to you and your organization.
