nomination for the CHIMA Future of Health Information Award. While maintaining an exceptional GPA of over 80% in the MHA-HIIM program, Amna brings over 11 years of progressive leadership in Health Information Management and currently serves as a full-time Coding and Data Quality Lead at Hamilton Health Sciences, where they oversee coding processes, lead and mentor the coding team, streamline workflows, and ensure data quality, system integrity, and timely submissions.\u00a0 Her role as a subject matter expert in coding, combined with hands-on leadership in system enhancements, training, and performance management, demonstrates both technical excellence and strategic impact. In parallel, she contributes nationally as an Accreditation Reviewer, supporting program quality and alignment with professional standards, and as a Health Information Management Professional at Halton Healthcare, resolving data integrity issues while supporting coding and data quality initiatives for reporting accuracy and optimizing funding outcomes. Amna\u2019s technical expertise and leadership are further strengthened by her active national CDI contributions to advancing professional standards, education, and knowledge development within the health information community. This combination of academic excellence, current leadership practice, and dedication to advancing national standards clearly reflects the intent of the award and underscores Amna&#8217;s strong potential to positively influence the future of health information in Canada.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f3587c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3f3587c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0182dac e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0182dac\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a936065 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a936065\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"867\" height=\"1299\" src=\"https:\/\/healthinfocanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Andreea-Josu.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1520640\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthinfocanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Andreea-Josu.webp 867w, https:\/\/healthinfocanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Andreea-Josu-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/healthinfocanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Andreea-Josu-683x1024.webp 683w, https:\/\/healthinfocanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Andreea-Josu-768x1151.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 867px) 100vw, 867px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4bb06da e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4bb06da\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f16598 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4f16598\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Andreea Josu, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1b236f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d1b236f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>Health Information Management<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c744268 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c744268\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Andreea demonstrates exceptional dedication and leadership within the Health Information Management program.
