Why has AHIMA created the CCA credential?
AHIMA recognizes that the demand for coders has never been greater and this need is expected to continue for some years to come. By creating an entry-level coding credential based on job-analysis standards and state-of-the-art test construction, AHIMA aims to increase the number of qualified new coders. The result is a larger pool of qualified coders for employers to choose from, certified coders doing a better job managing health information and recognition for AHIMA members as industry experts and leaders in clinical coding.
