This study explored possible success factors for passing the Certified Health Data Analyst Administration (CHDA) certification exam. According to the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), in 2019, only 10 percent of first-time test-takers passed the CHDA exam. Literature review offered insight into factors related to passing certification exams. Sources included existing, relevant peer-reviewed, and published literature since 1990 within 87 educational and health/medicine databases and 62 other articles and journal databases available at the University of South Dakota library. A correlational design was used in the study. Data was retrieved from AHIMA, cleaned, and data analysis was completed using binary logistic regression analysis. The CHDA study results indicate that candidates between ages 30 and 49 are less likely to pass the exam than those ages 50 and above, and those candidates with a master's degree are more likely to pass the exam than those with an associate or bachelor's degree. This new information will help improve the exam pass rates, provide a foundation for CHDA exam research, and add new knowledge in the HIM professional body of research.
本研究探讨了通过认证健康数据分析师管理（CHDA）认证考试的可能成功因素。根据美国健康信息管理协会（AHIMA）的数据，2019 年，第一次参加考试的考生中只有 10%通过了 CHDA 考试。文献回顾提供了与通过认证考试相关的因素的见解。来源包括自 1990 年以来，87 个教育和健康/医学数据库中的现有、相关的同行评议和已发表文献，以及南达科他大学图书馆中 62 个其他文章和期刊数据库。该研究采用了相关设计。从 AHIMA 检索数据，进行清理，并使用二元逻辑回归分析完成数据分析。CHDA 研究结果表明，30 至 49 岁的考生通过考试的可能性低于 50 岁及以上的考生，而拥有硕士学位的考生通过考试的可能性高于拥有副学士或学士学位的考生。这些新信息将有助于提高考试通过率，为 CHDA 考试研究提供基础，并在健康信息管理专业研究领域增加新知识。
