HIMSS has identified its inaugural cohort of Certified Professional in Digital Health Transformation Strategy (CPDHTS) recipients — the first-ever group to be recognized with this credential demonstrating professional knowledge and competence in digital health transformation strategy and health strategy.
Certificants have been formally recognized for meeting eligibility requirements and passing the three-hour CPDHTS exam composed of 150 multiple-choice questions. The exam focuses on professional knowledge and skills important to competent practice through a job analysis in digital health transformation strategy and health strategy.
“Achieving the CPDHTS professional certification reflects an individual’s dedication to advancing health strategy, and it signifies their commitment to improving patient outcomes, optimizing processes and enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare ecosystem,” said Mara Daiker, HIMSS Senior Director of Professional Development. “These individuals are not just gaining knowledge but are actively using it to drive digital transformation and bring about meaningful change in healthcare delivery. They are the leaders who are revolutionizing how healthcare is delivered, and they are paving the way for a brighter future in the industry.”
CPDHTS certification provides an international standard of requisite knowledge for certification, which helps employers, peers and the public to assess competency in digital health transformation strategy.
In addition to CPDHTS, HIMSS conducts certification examinations for CPHIMS (Certified Professional in Healthcare Information and Management Systems) and CAHIMS (Certified Associate in Healthcare Information and Management Systems). Each certification examination tests a well-defined body of knowledge representative of professional practice in healthcare information and management systems.
