Creative Staff Development You are the HIM manager at a long term acute care (LTAC) hospital that specializes in burn patients. You have just been informed that nurses, HIM credentialed staff, and licensed staff working in laboratory services (Medical Technologists) have just signed a union contract which requires their employer to provide at least half the annual required continuing education units (CEUs) for their license or credential maintenance. You have been asked to come up with some creative ideas that would help the hospital to provide some free ways to acquire CEUs for your HIM staff to help with the costs this year since it is not part of the current budget. Provide suggestions for acquiring CEUs for CCS, CCS-P, RHIT, and RHIA that would either be free or very inexpensive. For your report/recommendations you should also visit the AHIMA website to find out about credential maintenance. Review the credential maintenance facts presented on the website and include an overall summary of the credential maintenance process in your report/recommendations.
