The ultimate goal for most health information management (HIM) graduates is successful passage of the Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) exam. As educators, it is our goal to successfully prepare our students for this endeavor. Past studies in this area have resulted in many recommendations for future research. This research-study based presentation will provide attendees with a review of a number of variables impacting student success on the RHIA exam. The results of this study provides educators with further insight into predictors of student success on the RHIA exam, as well as information that can be used to aid in student exam success.  

Attendees will:  

• Learn which variables correlate with student success on the RHIA exam as well as the impacts and significance of these variables  
• Be able to identify potential predictors for success on the RHIA exam  
• Apply this knowledge to improve program curriculum, meet program goals, and ensure ongoing high student pass rates  
• Use this knowledge to aid students in preparation for success on the RHIA exam
