I'm Samie, Director of Health Information Management, adjunct professor at multiple universities, and founder of Team Lo LLC. I've spent more than a decade working in health information departments, classrooms, and boardrooms, collecting the real gems this profession doesn't hand you in a textbook.
This podcast exists because health information professionals deserve more than textbooks and LinkedIn posts. You need honest conversations about where the field is going, how AI is transforming healthcare, how to pass your boards, how to lead a department, and how to build a career, not just a job.
What makes this podcast different is its unique twist on all things health data and technology, with a sprinkle of popular culture and current events. We connect what's happening in healthcare to what's happening in the world, making complex topics practical, relevant, and engaging.
Whether you're a student trying to break into the field, a coder ready to advance your career, a privacy or compliance professional, a clinical documentation specialist, or a director navigating the future of health data, this is your space.

AI is no longer the future of healthcare… it’s already clocked in. 👀
From automating documentation to supporting clinical decision-making, artificial intelligence is transforming how healthcare operates—but here’s the real question: is it helping us… or quietly creating new risks behind the scenes?
In this episode of Balance HI Podcast, we’re breaking down AI in healthcare from a Health Information Management (HIM) perspective—because while everyone’s talking about innovation, HIM is the one making sure it’s accurate, compliant, and actually makes sense.
We’ll get into:
- 🤖 What AI is really doing inside hospitals and health systems
- 📊 How AI is impacting coding, documentation, and revenue cycle
- 🔐 The hidden risks: data integrity, bias, compliance, and patient trust
- 🧠 Why HIM professionals are the gatekeepers of AI governance
- 🚀 How YOU can stay relevant and ahead in this AI-driven shift
Let’s be clear: AI is not replacing HIM… but it will replace professionals who don’t understand it.
If you’ve ever wondered how AI fits into your role—or how to leverage it without losing control of your data—this episode is for you.
