New HIMSS Online Certification Tracker Simplifies Recertification Process
HIMSS members who hold the CAHIMS, CPHIMS or CPHIMS-CA credential represent a group of health IT professionals and leaders who have demonstrated dedication to healthcare and distinguished themselves in an increasingly competitive marketplace. With the new HIMSS Online Certification Tracking Application, anyone with either of these HIMSS certification credentials can record and track continuing education units (CEUs) and renew and pay for certification with a click of mouse.
“Since the inception of CPHIMS, and subsequent CPHIMS-CA and CAHIMS, the credential holders have been using paper documentation to keep record of CEUs, and file the renewal application manually in an every 3-year renewal cycle,” saidSam King, MBA, MPH, CPHIMS, FHIMSS, FHFMA, CPHQ, senior director, professional development, HIMSS North America. “This is a big step forward to eliminate all paper documentation with this added dimension that streamlines certification engagement for our credentialed professionals.”
