Balance HI Podcast
I'm Samie — Director of Health Information Management, adjunct professor at multiple universities, and founder of Team Lo LLC. I've spent over a decade inside HIM departments, classrooms, and boardrooms collecting the real gems this profession doesn't hand you in a textbook.
This podcast exists because HIM professionals deserve more than textbooks and LinkedIn posts. You need real talk about where the field is going, how AI is changing your role, how to pass your boards, how to lead a department, and how to build a career — not just a job.
Whether you're a student trying to break in, a coder ready to level up, or a director navigating the future of health data — this is your space.

What would happen if Health Information Management professionals wrote the healthcare bill?
In this episode of the Balance HI Podcast, we explore the Big Beautiful Bill that HIM actually wants. While lawmakers debate policy, the professionals who manage the data, documentation, coding, compliance, and record integrity are often left out of the conversation.
But let’s be clear: HIM is the infrastructure behind healthcare.
If HIM had a seat at the table, the bill would include real solutions for:
• smarter EHR decision making
• documentation that supports patient care and reimbursement
• stronger data governance and interoperability
• protecting the legal health record
• reducing administrative chaos in healthcare systems
Because when health information flows correctly, patient care improves, revenue cycles stabilize, and healthcare organizations operate more efficiently.
If you’ve ever wondered what healthcare policy would look like through the lens of Health Information Management, this episode is for you.
🎧 Tune in to hear the Big Beautiful Bill… HIM style.
