The IMPORTANCE of CERTIFICATION for Health Care Professionals

A recent survey found that 88% of healthcare employers require that their medical assistant professionals are certified at the time of employment or shortly thereafter. Texas requires that allied health workers obtain certification. National Healthcareer Association (NHA) certification indicates that professionals have met a nationally recognized measure of competency and may lead to more job opportunities, a higher pay scale, and greater job security. Certification can offer the healthcare professional the following: • Evidence of a personal commitment to a chosen profession • A competitive edge during the job search • Improved potential for earnings, career opportunities and advancement Allied health professionals also can choose to “stack credentials” with multiple certifications in specialties such as phlebotomy and EKG administration, in that way adding even more value as a member of the healthcare team. Professionals who earn credentials in multiple areas of expertise can achieve higher levels of accountability and proficiency and are in high demand among employers.

By employing certified healthcare workers, employers benefit from a workforce with standardized knowledge, expedited workflow, and improved overall patient safety and satisfaction. Employers can entrust their certified employees to perform the administrative and clinical tasks aligned with their credentials, thus allowing doctors and nurses to focus on working at the top of their license and delivering medical care to patient.

All certifications are not the same. That’s why certification through NHA demonstrates not only a proven level of knowledge, but also a desire for excellence. Certification through NHA offers multiple advantages: • NHA certification exams are accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and updated regularly, ensuring that students have the most jobrelevant knowledge and skills.

• Along with exams, NHA offers bundled interactive prep and study materials. Nine out of 10 Allied Health educational programs reported that NHA’s preparation resources helped improve exam preparedness and pass rates of their candidates.

• Employers offering career growth through certification can experience greater employee satisfaction and thus higher retention rates.
