The CAHIIM APAR data report contains Excel worksheets that can be viewed and used to create reports for HIM undergraduate programs, with data collected from APAR reporting.
The APAR Workbook includes a description of the worksheets, as well as worksheets with program data that can be aggregated or sorted by education level, region, enrollments, graduates, certification scores, curriculum, credit hours and other data fields. The workbook contains four reporting periods –
APAR 2017,
APAR 2018,
APAR 2019 and
APAR 2020.
Each program reporting to APAR has been given a CAHIIM APAR program code to de-identify the program in this workbook. This program code is not to be confused with the Education Program Code (EPC). If a program director is interested in finding out the APAR code for their program, please submit a request via your
.edu email address along with your EPC code to CAHIIM staff at
info@cahiim.org and we will send you your APAR program code.

HIM APAR Dashboard
Using the publicly-available CAHIIM HIM Annual Program Assessment Report (APAR) dataset, Dr. Susan H Fenton and Tabbitha Fagin, from the University of Texas School of Biomedical Informatics, have developed a dashboard to help program directors discover how to compare their programs to others.

Note: Health Informatics programs are not included in the dashboard, due to the lack of data resulting from the lower number of accredited HI programs.
