Course Amendment

HIT 192 – Modification (3 Credits)

Amendment Rationale: On December 8, 2016 the Curriculum Committee reviewed and approved HIT 192, Professional Practice Experience and Registered Health Information Technologist Exam Prep. The course title should reflect the RHIT national certification which is Technician, not a Technologist. The Business Division is requesting a Fast Track correction for the course title. It should be Professional Practice Experience and Registered Health Information Technician Exam Preparation. This needs to be changed before the accrediting team visits Leeward CC on March 16-17, 2017. Initially, the Curriculum Committee was going to fast track a proposal modification but we decided that there was no need to fast track a proposal modification. Since we had already reviewed HIT 192 and approved it (action: 21 approve, 0 disapprove, 0 abstain) all we needed to do was amend minutes of the Curriculum Committee approval of HIT 192 on December 8, 2016 since it was to change just one word. We would go back and amend the minutes of the December 8, 2016 Curriculum Committee meeting to reflect this change. A vote was taken to amend the minutes to reflect this change. Petersen Gross, Curriculum Support Coordinator would go into KSCM and just change the word Technologist to Technician. The Curriculum Committee vote to amend the minutes of the meeting when HIT 192 was approved was as follows: Action: 19 approve, 0 disapprove,0 abstain The Curriculum Committee request the faculty senate to approve of this amendment to the minutes of the meeting when HIT 192 was approved changing the word Technologist to Technician to meet accreditation purposes.

Attached is the letter requesting this change of one word in HIT 192 from Technologist to Technician.
