Goal of Change Align association components at all
levels. Engage members as advocates and
marketers of the profession. Efficiently deploy association resources
to ensure members have access to education, networking, and technology tools to assist them in evolving into expanded data capture and electronic record keeping roles.

Membership Development Bring together the healthcare
documentation workforce as AHDI members to be a unified voice for documentation integrity and patient safety and to build a collaborative professional community.
![Page 7: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Advocacy & Alliances Unify stakeholders in healthcare
delivery under one united message… The critical nature of the healthcare
documentation profession and the impact that the dictation/ transcription process (to include the full narrative patient story) has on patient safety, clinical decision‐making, and maximized revenue cycles.
![Page 8: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Design an efficient governance structure to optimize the financial, volunteer leader, and staff resources to accomplish
programs and initiatives.
![Page 9: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Create National Leadership Board
Merge HOD with AHDI BOD At least 6 At-large and 6 District
Directors Develop accountability structure
where At‐Large and District Directors accomplish the strategic priorities in partnership with components
All Directors are equal in status (same terms and ability to run for office)
![Page 10: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Definition of a District Geographical subdivisions Groups U.S. states and Canadian
provinces District boundaries may be changed from
time to time by the National Leadership Board
Districts do not have a leadership structure
Districts group voting members by geography to elect District Directors
![Page 11: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Districts
![Page 12: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
AHDI Districts Members assigned according to the
state or province in which they live Members will be represented by 1
District Director and all At-Large Directors serving on the National Leadership Board
Members outside of the U.S. and Canada are represented by a Director assigned by the President
![Page 13: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Defining District Boundaries National Leadership Board will
review annually, as needed, the district boundaries and make any necessary changes in boundary lines
Factors that may be considered include: number of members in each district time zones boundaries of regional associations
![Page 14: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Voting for AHDI Leadership 1 District Director will be elected
for each District District Directors will be elected by
the voting members of each District All AHDI voting members will vote
for At-Large Directors
![Page 15: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Component Support Structure All components will remain as they
currently exist. Components will be partnered with
a District Director based on the component’s address of record, including the address of record for the online association, and corporate and educational chapters
![Page 16: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Members are voting to change the AHDI bylaws…
![Page 17: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
#1: Create a National Leadership Board Change the composition of the
Board to include at least 6 At‐Large Directors and at least 6 District Directors.
Allowing a minimum of 12 Directors with a maximum of 14 Directors.
Creating 6 districts in the U.S. and Canada to segment voting AHDI members for the election of District Director.
![Page 18: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Impact BOD and HOD merge to create a
National Leadership Board (NLB) Members represented by both At‐Large
and District Directors NLB will be funded by AHDI national Fiscal impact: additional governance
costs of up to 3 added directors Costs offset by savings from merging HOD
& BOD Components will no longer need to fund
a delegate
![Page 19: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Rationale Streamlines governance structure to 1
body, representing all members District & At‐Large Directors will have
authority for strategic/business planning & budgetary resource allocation
Reduces # of governance volunteers to free‐up volunteer time for initiatives to increase the profession’s visibility
Components will spend less money on governance, which can be redirected to participation in strategic initiatives
![Page 20: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
#2: Meetings of Members & Voting Change quorum from a fix # to a %,
adding in a descending quorum starting at 10% with a second level option of 5%.
Impact: Changing the number of required voting members for all votes, whether at meetings, voting by ballot, as well as board elections.
![Page 21: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Rationale The quorum will adjust according to
the # of current voting members Allows for a more realistic quorum as
membership changes Descending quorum will establish the
initial quorum for meetings/ballots at 10%
If that 10% is not obtained, the ballot could be extended and a 5% quorum would apply to the extension period
Allows for a more streamlined process for future decision-making
![Page 22: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
#3: Board of Directors Powers & Duties Defines and limits the authority of
the National Leadership Board to amend the bylaws.
Impact: Removes ratification of the bylaws by the HOD and gives voting/approval rights to the NLB and membership, as defined by the bylaws, requiring a 2/3rd vote for bylaws revisions.
![Page 23: Reshaping AHDI 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815fe8550346895dceec2a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Article XV, Section 2. When Members’ Approval Required Without the approval of two thirds (2/3) of the voting members, the National Leadership Board may not adopt, amend, or repeal any bylaw that would: (a) Fix or change the authorized number of Directors; (b) Fix or change the minimum or maximum number of
Directors; (c) Change from a fixed number of Directors to a variable
number of Directors or vice versa; (d) Increase or extend the terms of Directors; (e) Allow any Director to hold office by designation or selection
rather than by election by the Members, unless in the situation of resignation per Article VI, Section 8;
(f) Increase the quorum for members’ meetings; (g) Repeal, restrict, create, expand, or otherwise change proxy
rights; or (h) Authorize cumulative voting. (i) Create a change in the structure of the State/Regional/Web-

Rationale Streamlines management of
governance, improves leadership development and succession planning, and centralizes authority
Ensures members retain the power to approve changes to the bylaws when they impact the organizational structure, rights and privileges of members, and certain changes to membership categories.
