Quiz and Answers: AHIMA HIP Week 2025

AHIMA HIP Week 2025 Quiz Answers

What you learned about health information (HI) careers 

Throughout HIP Week 2025, we ran a daily LinkedIn quiz to highlight the essential work of health information (HI) professionals.  

If you followed along, great! If you missed a question or two, don’t worry — we’ve recapped all the correct answers (and explained why the others were off the mark). Or, you can take the quiz if you missed it altogether! 

Monday’s topic: Who are HI professionals?

Poll question: What’s the core focus of HI pros? 

  • Managing patient records

  • Providing medical treatment 

  • Prescribing medications 

Poll answer: What’s the core focus of HI pros? 

  • ✅ Managing patient records (Correct) 

  • ❌ Providing medical treatment 

  • ❌ Prescribing medications 

Why: HI professionals specialize in handling patient data — making sure it’s accurate, secure and accessible. They don’t treat or diagnose patients directly. 


Tuesday’s topic: Where do HI professionals work? 

Poll question: Which is a typical HI setting? 

  • Warehouses 

  • Grocery and retail 

  • Hospitals and clinics

Poll answer: Which is a typical HI setting? 

  • ❌ Warehouses 

  • ❌ Grocery and retail 

  • ✅ Hospitals and clinics (Correct) 

Why: HI professionals are deeply embedded in healthcare settings like hospitals, clinics and insurance companies — not in retail or logistics environments. 


Wednesday’s topic: What do HI professionals do? 

Poll question: Which task fits an HI role? 

  • Perform surgeries 

  • Analyze health data

  • Administer vaccines 

Poll answer: Which task fits an HI role? 

  • ❌ Perform surgeries 

  • ✅ Analyze health data (Correct) 

  • ❌ Administer vaccines 

Why: HI professionals are data experts. They don’t engage in clinical care like surgeries or vaccinations, but they do support clinical teams with data-driven insights. 


Thursday’s topic: Is HI right for you? 

Poll question: A good HI candidate enjoys ...  

  • Heavy lifting 

  • Outdoor fieldwork 

  • Tech and organization


Poll answer: A good HI candidate enjoys ...  

  • ❌ Heavy lifting 

  • ❌ Outdoor fieldwork 

  • ✅ Tech and organization (Correct) 

Why: If you love tech, data and problem-solving, and want to work in healthcare behind the scenes, HI might be a perfect fit. Physical labor or fieldwork isn’t typically involved. 


Friday’s topic: What credentials are key? 

Poll question: Which is an AHIMA certification? 

  • CPR 

  • RHIA

  • CNA 

Poll answer: Which is an AHIMA certification? 

  • ❌ CPR 

  • ✅ RHIA (Correct) 

  • ❌ CNA 

Why: RHIA (Registered Health Information Administrator) is a respected AHIMA credential for leaders in health information management. CPR is a life-saving skill certification, and CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) is a clinical credential — neither is specific to HI.
