The HIM Marketplace has proven to be a valuable resource for association members and other industry professionals who use the Internet to locate products and services for the entire health information management industry. This information resource uses powerful search technology that continually indexes the content of participating supplier Web sites. Users have the option of performing keyword-driven searches that mirror traditional search engines, or a category-specific search. Both methods produce the most relevant results on the Web.

The HIM Marketplace also incorporates a desktop search mechanism, allowing visitors to download a free application that makes the directory accessible from the user’s computer desktop. In addition, the directory has implemented Request For Information (RFI) functionality, allowing visitors to contact suppliers with the click of a button. Both features are becoming increasingly popular among users of the HIM Marketplace and are a valuable business opportunity for suppliers to advertise in the directory.

Members of the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) are using the HIM Marketplace on a daily basis. But the directory isn’t limited to association members. Other health information management (HIM) and healthcare are using the directory as well. These industry professionals spend billions a year on products and services your company offers.

And when these professionals are ready to buy, they turn to the HIM Marketplace to cut through the clutter of traditional search engine results.

The HIM Marketplace has been created specifically for serious buyers of your product or service. Purchasing a listing in the directory ensures that your company’s brand and message are delivered directly to those that matter most to your business. The AHIMA is recognized as a leader in the industry. And health information management (HIM) and healthcare turn to the association as the informational source in the industry.

With traditional search results, your company’s listing becomes one in a million. But searching through the HIM Marketplace presents relevant search results to pre-qualified, committed buyers. Completing a listing in the directory will cost your company less advertising dollars than participating in the pay-per-click campaigns of the major search engines and delivers better results.

Your complete listing in the HIM Marketplace will feature your company logo and description, contact information and company Web site and e-mail link. The listing will be grouped into categories of your choice to enable efficient searching.

A link to the HIM Marketplace is prominently displayed on the AHIMA Web site (http://www.ahima.org). The directory can also be found at http://thehimmarketplace.com.
