Abstract

This study explored possible success factors for passing the Registered Health Information Administration (RHIA) certification exam. According to the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), only 70 percent of first-time test-takers passed the RHIA exam in 2019. A literature review offered insight into factors related to passing certification exams. Sources included existing, relevant peer-reviewed and published literature since 1990 within 87 educational and health/medicine databases and 62 other articles and journal databases available at the University of South Dakota library. A correlational design was used in the study. Data was retrieved from AHIMA, cleaned, and binary logistic regression analysis was completed. A significant relationship was identified between having a prior credential, such as the Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT) credential and passing the RHIA exam. This new information will help improve pass rates, advance the HIM field research base, and help students improve their odds of passing the RHIA exam.

利亚认证考试成功的因素。

本研究探讨通过注册健康资讯管理局(RHIA)认证考试的可能成功因素。根据美国健康信息管理协会(AHIMA)的数据，2019年只有70%的首次参加考试的人通过了RHIA考试。一篇文献综述提供了对通过认证考试相关因素的见解。资料来源包括自1990年以来87个教育和保健/医学数据库中现有的相关同行评议和发表的文献，以及南达科他州大学图书馆提供的62篇其他文章和期刊数据库。本研究采用相关设计。从AHIMA中检索数据，进行清理，并完成二元logistic回归分析。研究发现，拥有注册医疗信息技术人员(RHIT)证书和通过RHIA考试之间存在显著关系。这一新信息将有助于提高通过率，推进HIM实地研究基地，并帮助学生提高通过RHIA考试的几率。
