BS-HIA & POST-BACCALAURATE PROGRAMS
The Health Information Administration (HIA) programs at MCG are
accredited by CAHIIM—the Commission on Accreditation for Health
Informatics and Information Management Education. CAHIIM is the
accrediting organization for degree-granting programs in health
informatics and information management.
CAHIIM serves the public interest by establishing quality
standards for the educational preparation of future health
information management (HIM) professionals. When a program is
accredited by CAHIIM, it means that it has voluntarily undergone a
rigorous review process and has been determined to meet or exceed
the standards set by the sponsoring professional organization— the
American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA)—in
cooperation with the Commission. CAHIIM accreditation is a way to
recognize and publicize best practices for HIM Education Programs.
