Core Competencies
Introduction - CAHIIM Accreditation
The Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management (CAHIIM) has established Domains of Knowledge and competencies within each Domain. Each competency is identified by a numbering system, a short title and a Bloom's Taxonomy level. The Curriculum Map for the AS in Health Information Technology is featured below. Each of the six domains lists competencies for the entry-level professional.
AS Degree programs that are accredited by CAHIIM must provide documentation of competencies taught at least to the Bloom's level specified in the Curriculum Map. You will be required to complete certain assignments in each of your classes.
For each Competency, a Chapter Crosswalk to the Health Information Technology - An Applied Approach resource book is noted in the "chapter" column. This will be very helpful when you are taking practice exams and identifying your areas of weakness. Start by reviewing material in the crosswalked chapters. The RHIT exam is based on this material.
