This Handbook is a guide for Manitoba Association of Health Information Providers (MAHIP) Executive members regarding the various duties that may not be covered by the Association’s Constitution and Bylaws.
Copies of the revised Handbook will be distributed to the incoming Executive prior to its first meeting. At this meeting, there will be an opportunity to discuss the duties as outlined, thus clarifying procedures that Executive members should follow. Each member should keep a working copy of their duties and procedures, listing any changes that occur during the year so that revisions may be made to the Handbook.
Although this is an informal document that may be changed as the situation demands, it should be reviewed annually by each year's Vice-President and revised as required.
The following resources should also be consulted by the Executive.
