I purchased this book for an RHIT prep course. I pre-ordered the 2013 edition because I thought it would be best to have the latest updates, even though it would not arrive until the second week of school. To be fair, this book does have a lot of good information and references for those studying for the RHIT exam. However, the description of the book says that it includes a CD-ROM and free access to practice exams online. Mine came with neither. I am VERY disappointed with my purchase. I really don't want to return the book because I am halfway through a six-week course. So I really feel stuck on this one. I do not recommend this edition of the professional review guide to anyone at this point.
The data disk has multiple typo errors, but you can figure out what they want for most of them. One was really funny, it was suppose to be the word "as" but the added an extra "s" (kind of changes it doesn't it?). I found all of these error concerning because it left me wondering what else is wrong with the quality of the questions and answers. I think they need to do a better job editing the data disk, especially since the book is titled "professional" review guide. Nearly 80 bucks is a lot to pay for product with so many obvious errors.The electronic tests that came on the data disk are now set up where ALL of the practice tests are separate for the RHIT and RHIA tests, which was not available in previous versions. This is a huge improvement!The answers reference far too many books. It would not be possible for a student to have all of these books (some I have never heard of). Some of the referenced books for some of the questions do not contain the information like it is asked in the question. This is frustrating because it makes it impossible to look up the correct information. It would be better if they provided an explanation of the question's answer, or an excerpt from the book where the information published.
I used this book to study for the RHIT test and I just passed the test today. I thought the test taking tips were very helpful. Use the tests in the book to identify your weak areas. Then study from your Intro book (John's or Abdelhak). The tests are very thorough. You can also take the tests online. What I don't like about the online version is, 1) you can't just retake the test on the questions you got wrong, 2) the online test once graded, does not display the correct answer. All you know is that you got the question wrong. Then you have to go back to your book and find the question and the correct answers at the back of the chapter. There were some errors in the answers (but there were errors in the answers in my John's book also). Take the complete test for each chapter (instead of the quizes). All the questions will be in the same order as the book when you go to look them up. The reference for individual questions (to look the answer up) sometimes do not come close to helping you figure out the answer to the question. Good thing - the questions in the PRG book are harder than the test.
This book is a great tool for the exam if you know how to use it. I did not go in thinking I could memorize the book and regurgitate the answers for the exam. It is useful in the sense that, if you know WHY the answers are what they are, then you'll do fine. Like the commenter above, I did notice several typos and incorrect answers in the back, and several errors on the disk. I do like how references are available beneath each question so you can research the answer. In short, I don't think you can go wrong with this.
This 2013 PRG is recommended for the RHIA-RHIT competencies and provides a well written preface with some tried-and-true study schedule ideas and tips for efficient review. An answer guide is included in the back of the book and includes some (but not many) explanations to the answers. This textbook is a definite must have when studying for the Health Information national exams. Book arrived fast and in great condition.
This is an excellent book for a student studying for the RHIT and RHIA. Many detailed questions are asked and answered. This book covers a lot of ground in the expanding world of Health Information Management. Worth your money. plb
I used this book to prepare for my RHIT exam which I successfully completed during my final semester of study in April. I anticipated taking the exam under ICD-9 and in hindsight that was a good call, considering ICD-10's postponement. This book organized the material I needed to review. It provided questions in appropriate areas of review that required me to think about the optional answers and ask myself what I knew about each option. This provided a very good means of reviewing the material and topics covered in the RHIT exam. Some of the material I found I'd forgotten about since my initial courses and using this guide helped me to identify areas to review. One criticism is that some of the page numbers for reference materials seemed off, the actual information was often found nearby but not on the pages cited. There was a red, white, and black cardboard flap inside the front cover with an access code as opposed to a CD. I used this site to do additional review but unlike the text it only tells you you got the question wrong without citing a reference source. All in all I found this book a helpful resource for organizing my review and preparing me for the exam.
I would recommend this book if you are studying for the RHIT or RHIA test. I took the RHIT test and passed!! I found the book and the cd to be very useful in my studies. It helped me to identify what areas I needed to study more and what areas were my strengths.
