The Chairs are well known health information professionals in the industry and are assisted by the HIMAA National Office to support the work of the members.

The Accreditation Council is a committee of HIMAA reporting to the national HIMAA Board.
The Council is responsible for the accreditation of ‘Health Information Management’ courses. Underpinning the accreditation program are the Health Information Management Competency Standards. You can find the Competency Standards on the Competency Standards homepage.
Accreditation of degree courses is linked directly to a graduate Health Information Managers’ eligibility for full membership of HIMAA? This link ensures that ‘Health Information Management’ courses meet the standards as set by the profession and that when a student graduate they have the knowledge and skills to work in a ‘Health Information Management’ role.
In 2022 the work of the Council includes the review of the documentation that underpins the accreditation process. The Council is also in the process of accrediting the ‘Health Information Management’ courses offered by two Australian Universities.
If you would like to find more about the Accreditation Council go to Accreditation homepage or email executiveso@himaa.org.
