Thank you, Donna! Who else can bait their hook and pull in the AHIMA fish??
Their requirements are a bit different, so you want to see them now. You don't want to do something with your books that you might later have to undo. Even worse, you don't want to do something with your books that might require you to buy yet another new book before you take the CCS.
It might be nice to have a handy table to compare them.
