Does the CPHIMS (certified professional in Healthcare Information Management Systems) certification hold water in healthcare consulting? General perception of it?

Nope. But getting deeply involved in HIMSS either at the local chapter or national level can help with contacts and networks.

I would say no, unless you’re directly involved in data privacy/ security or HIS.

Nah. Maybe the actual stuff you learned whilst obtaining the certification, but not the certification itself. I was an RHIA (Registered Health Information Administrator) coming out of school. Nobody knew or cared about that certification - but the stuff I learned on the way to getting it about absolutely helped.

BTW, HIMSS doesn’t even care enough about its own certifications to market or promote them to employers. Until 2-3 years ago HIMSS did not sponsor a CPHIMS party or get together at national HIMSS conference. They finally added one with celery and Cheez Whiz like on the last day of the conference. But they’re relentless in collecting the cert fee.

I feel like I can’t redeem my career. I’ve been out of paying work since I graduated. My bar was delayed due to a medical problem and since then I’ve only been able to find volunteering. I’ve been working for free for 2 years now. My network is tapped, my mentors are confused why I can’t find anything, my law school’s career services actually gave up on me, I don’t have the money to move to a new place, I have no other support and I can’t even go back to retail because nobody’s hiring out here.

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
