The American Society of Health Informatics Managers (ASHIM®) is the nation’s leading trade association for the health IT workforce. ASHIM is a non-governmental organization that sponsors the Certified Health Informatics Systems Professional (CHISP®) credentialing exam to certify both the technical and healthcare industry knowledge of health IT professionals.

Online health IT training is completed in just three months as students learn essentials to improve career outlook and job performance. Students gain knowledge of computer science and healthcare operations, including health IT regulations and standards, such as HITECH incentive payment rules, which enables them to implement new technologies faster and easier.

Professionals who have passed the CHISP® health IT certification have met meticulous testing requirements and have demonstrated the technical and health care industry knowledge required to support the needs of physicians implementing electronic health care systems, such as electronic health records (EHR), electronic medical records (EMR), and community and regional health information exchange (HIE).
