The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) periodically reviews and updates the Content Outline to ensure the exam reflects current tasks and proficiency required as the CCS-P role evolves in step with health system transformation.  \nExecutive Summary  \nIn 2023, AHIMA began a job task analysis for the CCS-P professional certification. The purpose of the analysis was to validate tasks that are currently included in the Content Outline for the CCS-P certification and identify additional tasks that are now required of CCS-Ps in their current role. The CCS-P job task analysis study resulted inan updated Content Outline to ensure that the current state of practice is being tested in the CCS-P examination. Changes are reflected in the crosswalk below.  \nThe process for developing the methodology to conduct the study included:  \n1. Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) filled out a questionnaire regarding tasks in the Content Outline  \n2. The Exam Development Committee (EDC) reviewed the questionnaire results and determined whether new tasks should be added or existing tasks should be edited in the Content Outline  \n3. The revised Content Outline was incorporated into the Job Analysis Survey  \n4. The survey was administered to practicing professionals to collect ratings on the importance and frequency of use of each task  \n5. An Exam Specifications panel composed of EDC and SMEs review survey results, data, and input received from practicing professionals to develop an updated Content Outline and revised exam specifications  \n6. The updated Content Outline and exam specifications were presented to the Commission on Certification for Health Informatics and Information Management (CCHIIM) for review and approval.  \nSummary of 2023 CCS-P Content Outline Updates  \nThe results from the 2023 Certified Coding Specialist – Physician Based (CCS-P) job task analysis indicated that all 5 domains remain relevant for a CCS-P practicing professional and that much of the tasks expected by a CCS-Premain appropriate. A total of 5 new tasks were added, 2 tasks were removed/combined into other tasks, and several of the subtext was revised throughout for clarification.  \nAdditionally, the number of items allocated to each domain, time allotted to complete the exam, and eligibility requirements/recommendations were reviewed/discussed. It was determined that the number of items allocated to each domain will be updated according to table 1 below. No change was made to the amount of time allotted to complete the exam or the number of items overall. Finally, wording was updated to the eligibility requirements for the exam which can be seen on page 3.  \nTable 1 below portrays the change in items allocated to each domain of the Content Outline. Table 2 (page 3-page 7) presents the 2020 Content Outline and maps the changes to the 2024 Content Outline.  \nTable 1.
