About
Becoming a Registered or Certified Healthcare Documentation Specialist (RHDS or CHDS) is not a legal or regulatory requirement; however, it is a distinction looked upon favorably by many individuals and employers in the healthcare industry. To earn the Registered or Certified Healthcare Documentation Specialist distinction requires an individual to graduate from an AHDI-approved Healthcare Documentation Specialist (MT) Training Program and successfully pass the RHDS or CHDS certification exam.
