This practicum is also an essential element in assisting for preparation of the Certified Healthcare Chart Auditor (CHCA); Certified Healthcare Chart Auditor-Facility (CHCAF); and Certified Healthcare Chart Auditor-Surgical (CHCAS) exams; and truly prepares for just about any other auditing credential. Here are just a few key points our audit team will teach you;
