APAR Open and Close Dates
APAR Open Date
APAR will open in 2024 on January 31,2024 to collect data from each CAHIIM accredited Health Information Management and Health Informatics program. Annual APAR reporting encompasses a reporting cycle that begins August 1 and ends July 31 and it is always one year behind to give programs ample time to collect data for the report. For example, APAR 2024 will collect general data for the academic year cycle that started August 1, 2022 and ended July 31,2023.
APAR Closure Date
The APAR system will close for all programs at 11:59pm on May 31, 2031. Failure to complete the 2024 APAR by May 31,2024 may result in the program being placed on Administrative Probation until the report is satisfactorily submitted. The change in accreditation status will also be recorded in the program profile in the CAHIIM Program Directory.
