Kim Graham, RHIA, CCS
Kim Graham has over 30 years of progressive HIM experience including work as an inpatient and outpatient coder, auditor and educator. Kim excelled as the ‘go-to’ resource managing, training and bridging the gap between her firm’s staff of experienced coders and the healthcare organizations for which they worked to ensure the timely delivery of high quality coding and auditing services. Kim received her Bachelor’s in Health Information Management from the University of Cincinnati.
Kim believes passionately in the importance of coding-related expertise: “Highly skilled staff with coding expertise help ensure their organization’s future success. Those healthcare organizations that realize the value of their coding, auditing and CDI staff can create for themselves a critical competitive advantage. All the amazing medicine in the world will be for nought if the revenue cycle is not performing well.”
