RN needing RHIA certification

I am currently a clinical administrator at an small ambulatory surgery center. We are currently accredited by AAAHC under deemed status. We are now up for re-accreditation. It has come to my attention that in my state it is required that we have a certified medical records technologist or technician or a certified medical records technologist consultant. I brought this up to my medical director and board. The response that was given to me was for me to become certified myself. Does anyone know if that is possible. I have tried to research this online but to no avail. I am unclear of the exact requirements of an RHIA or RHIT. Does anyone know if a RN/BSN with an MS in Speech/Language Pathology and a CCC/SLP can take the exam for either certification? Or would I need yet more education? I would so much appreciate the help.

    Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT)

    for certification requirements and other info.

    You prob want to make sure you understand all the requirements for acceditation. If you are a member of some kind of professional org - check them out and see if there is info.

    I do not believe that you can just get certified, it looks like there are specific requirements for this kind of professional certificate.

    Perhaps you have to hire a RHIA at least some hours per week or get a consultant.
