Certified Professional in Healthcare Risk Management (CPHRM) Exam

The Certified Professional in Healthcare Risk Management (CPHRM) credential, administered through the American Hospital Association Certification Center (AHA-CC) in partnership with the American Society for Health Care Risk Management (ASHRM), recognizes professionals with demonstrated expertise across the five core content areas of healthcare risk management: Clinical/Patient Safety, Risk Financing, Legal and Regulatory, Health Care Operations, and Claims and Litigation. Candidates are tested on their ability to identify and analyze clinical and organizational risk exposures, structure and manage insurance/risk financing programs (including self-insured retentions, reserves, and contractual risk transfer), navigate the complex legal and regulatory environment governing healthcare delivery, manage day-to-day operational risk across the enterprise, and oversee the claims and litigation lifecycle from incident through resolution.
