CAHIIM Eligible for CHEA Recognition Review Process
Eligibility Statement
At its meeting on May 2-3, 2011, the CHEA Board of Directors reviewed
the recommendation of the CHEA Committee on Recognition regarding the eligibility application submitted by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM). The board of directors determined that CAHIIM is eligible to undertake a recognition review. CAHIIM will complete a self-evaluation providing evidence that it meets the CHEA recognition standards. CHEA requires an observation visit to a decision-making meeting of the accrediting organization to observe decision-making activities as these relate to CHEA eligibility and recognition standards. The CHEA Committee on Recognition will review the self-evaluation, the report of the observation visit, and any third-party comment and make a recommendation to the CHEA Board of Directors. The CHEA Board of Directors will make the final determination of recognition status.
