HIMS 661 UMDC Week 4 Setting Standards Discussion

I’m working on a health & medical discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Setting Standards

Standards are specifications that have been approved by a standards development organization (SDO).  Standards development is an ongoing process that relies on consensus-building among public and private organization members formally organized as Standard Development Organization (SDO). Standards are frequently modified and new standards are constantly developed.

How do standards relate or affect health informatics and information management work?

What are some methods that the HIIM professional can use to stay current with changes in the standards applicable to HIM  profession?
