Health Information Management Accreditation (CHEA-Recognized)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Health information management is the practice of managing medical information vital to providing quality patient care, sound fiscal management of medical resources, and data governance supporting confidentiality of patient records. Management of this data includes acquisition, analysis, and protection of digital and traditional types of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health Information Management education occurs in academic programs awarding associate, baccalaureate, and master\u2019s degrees. Each of these degree programs has a set of accreditation standards that ensure the quality of the education. Graduation from these education programs are the beginning of a career in health information management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health Information Management professionals may practice in health care, health information systems industry, health information management education programs, health finance and billing services, and health information standards and policy development. Their practice connects clinical, operational, and administrative functions in health care. They work on the classification of disease and interventions to ensure their standardization for use in clinical, financial, and legal purposes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

CAHIIM is leading the development and validation of new competencies; and are revising the HIM Education Accreditation Standards to support an evolving competency-based education(CBE) framework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the initiative is to develop and validate a new set of competencies and accreditation standards for each HIM degree level, ensuring role delineation, future practice relevance, and alignment with a new competency-based framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All HIM programs will need to comply with the Future Education Model by Spring 2028<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
