APAR Open and Close Dates
APAR Open Date
Access APARAPAR Login
APAR will open, in 2021, on January 23 to collect data from each CAHIIM accredited Health Information Management and Health Informatics program. Annual APAR reporting encompasses a reporting cycle that begins August 1 and ends July 31 and it is always one year behind to give programs ample time to collect data for the report. For example, APAR 2021 will cover data collection for the academic year cycle that started August 1, 2019 and ended July 31,2020.
APAR Closure Date
The APAR system will close for all programs at 11:59 PM on May 1, 2021 -> May 31, 2021. Failure to complete the 2021 APAR by May 31, 2021 will result in the program being placed on Administrative Probationary Accreditation until the report is satisfactorily submitted.
