Area of Science:

  • Health Information Management
  • Educational Testing
  • Linguistics

Background:

  • English Language Learners (ELL) experience unique academic and testing challenges due to language barriers.
  • These challenges can impact success on standardized certification exams such as Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT) and Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and outline specific challenges faced by ELL graduates during the RHIT or RHIA certification exams.
  • To explore the impact of language barriers on exam performance and identify potential areas for support.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach was used, collecting qualitative and quantitative data via email surveys.
  • Surveys were distributed to graduates of Health Information programs at Illinois State University and Central Arizona College.

Main Results:

  • Eight of nine self-identified ELL respondents completed the survey.
  • A significant portion of ELL respondents who did not pass on the first attempt cited time constraints and question format as barriers.
  • Of those who did not pass initially, 80% did not complete the exam within the allotted time, and 63% felt question format impacted their performance.

Conclusions:

  • The study suggests a need for accommodations for ELL test-takers, including extended time or translation options.
  • Additional targeted preparation programs could enhance the success of ELL students and graduates in Health Information certification exams.
