2010 Auditor of the Year
On April 22. 2010, during its 16th annual conference in Orlando, FL, AAMAS presented the "Auditor of the Year" award to Ernest (Ernie) King, RN, CMAS. Ernie has been an external medical nurse auditor for 24 years. Ernie has had many past careers including being a hospital administrator. At one time, Ernie was appointed to the Board of Nursing for Alaska. Ernie is extremely well thought of. During his recent illness, hospital auditors sent him charts so that he could continue working. Ernie has integrity; upholds the professional code of conduct; and, is always willing to help. Ernie has been involved in AAMAS for 16 years and has missed only one conference - due to illness. Ernie says that he has to attend the conferences because that is where he gets his "loving" for the year. Congratulations, Ernie!
