4 Webinars on Wednesdays in 2018
February 1, February 8, March 1 & March 29
11:00am-12:00 noon CST
 
 
We have joined forces with five other chapters as a joint certification coaching course to be presented as webinars by Christoph Stauder. The six chapters are: CT, MA/RI, ME, NH/VT, SC and WI.
 
One webinar covers exam 1 and testing strategies. Three webinars will present two case studies from one of the three environments. These webinars will help you apply business judgement to case studies that describe various situations, opportunities and challenges that one might confront as a provider, payer or physician group.
 
How do you teach strategic thinking? We have Christoph Stauder to help develop business judgment by observing decisions of others and what would have been better or different.
 
The course outline and registration information
will be distributed in January 2018!

The HFMA Board of Examiners (BoE) periodically reviews certification performance, and as a result of its most recent review, has approved a new model for the CRCR assessment. This follows the protocols of other HFMA certification programs and meets all psychometric standards. Updates to the CRCR assessment, effective as of 9/22/17,  include:

• A revised passing score: it is now 70%. 
• The updated assessment includes 75 questions and learners will have 90 minutes to complete the assessment. 

The previous assessment was comprised of 150 questions, an allotted time of 3 hours and a passing score of 75%. HFMA has reached out to those learners currently pursuing CRCR certification to advise of the program assessment revisions.
Important Note: The CRCR program study materials have not changed and progress for a learner in the eLearning program will not be affected.  Email careerservices@hfma.org with any questions.
