  Preparing the Nation's Workforce for Health IT
  aka Electronic Medical Records

  
  First came $30 billion in ARRA funding under the HITECH ACT of 2009 that motivated physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers to accelerate adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHR). Part of the funding included $100 million to train 20,000+ Health IT community and university college students to support EHR implementation.
  
  Today, we are holding our collective breaths waiting for the political winds in Washington D.C to tell us how The Affordable Care Act (ACA) will be implemented.
  
  In whatever form it takes, ACA will require public/private partnerships to meet the challenges of educating, training, recruiting and employing qualified Health IT workers to meet the needs of EHR implementation---a national infrastructure project that will be with us for many years to come, impacting almost every type of healthcare provider and employee in every city, town, village and rural area.
  
  To prepare you to lead and implement Health IT workforce solutions for your community, HRMS has produced a one-hour, recorded webinar providing you with an executive-level, “big picture” analysis of future Health IT labor market demand and supply.
  
  As your webinar leader, Richard Katz will help you:
  • Gain an understanding of the pending changes to the nation’s healthcare delivery system that will impact the Health IT workforce.
  • Identify critical Health IT skill sets and occupations that will be most in demand by healthcare employers.
  • Clarify your understanding of the latest certifications needed by workers to succeed in the Health IT industry.
  • Give you examples of successfully-funded public/private partnerships to support Health IT workforce development.
  • Show you how to create fundable, employer-based customized Health IT job training programs.
  Attendees will receive a complete set of webinar presentation slides. In addition, Richard Katz will provide you with answers to your questions raised by the webinar.
  
  Order your one-hour, Health IT public/private partnership recorded webinar today and be better prepared for the imminent healthcare industry change coming your way!
