title: Council on Education report: ART progression and long-range goals.
abstract: To answer the question of Accredited Record Technician long-range educational goals (including an indication for progression opportunities), the Council on Education (COE) of AHIMA in 1990 sent out a Request for Proposal for a needs assessment. Based on a proposal submitted in July 1990, a contract was awarded to The College of St. Scholastica. Shirley Eichenwald served as the project director. Kathleen LaTour was project associate and David Swenson was project consultant. A survey was developed and distributed with a deadline of February 1991. The findings from the survey were placed in a report entitled "Progression Potential and Educational Goals of ARTs: a Needs Assessment," dated April 1991, which was submitted to the Council on Education and reviewed at the August 1991 COE meeting. This article summarizes and highlights the key findings from this report.
