NEW FALL STUDY GROUP FORMING!
Continuing education and a commitment to lifelong learning are more important than ever to remain competitive in the healthcare IT environment. A group of professionals in both the greater Milwaukee area and Madison, made their leap by joining a CPHIMS study group in preparation for the certification examination offered by HIMSS. The group came together at the invitation of Compuware healthcare consultant, Daryl Duenkel who teamed with Kathy Schweda from the local chapter board to offer the study group to all chapter members. The Madison study group was coordinated by Ben Exley of Mercy Health System. The WI Dairyland chapter of HIMSS Board of Directors and Committee Chairs supported the endeavor in an effort to increase member advancement and shared the invitation with all members of HIMSS Dairyland chapter.
HIMSS WI Dairyland is pleased to report that 100% of the study group members who have taken the exam have passed and achieved CPHIMS certification. This is a higher passing percentage than the national average of 77% for first time exam candidates.
