ONC Makes Available Health IT Training Materials for Public Use

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT has publicly released teaching materials to help develop the nation’s health IT work force, Government Health IT reports (Mosquera, Government Health IT, 6/24).

The materials were produced by five institutions that comprise the Curriculum Development Centers Program, a $10 million program funded by ONC. The five schools are:

  • Columbia University;
  • Duke University;
  • Johns Hopkins University;
  • Oregon Health & Science University; and
  • The University of Alabama-Birmingham.

The materials have been used by the 82 schools participating in the ONC Community College Consortia Program, which offers health IT training courses.

Curriculum Details

The training courses and the teaching materials aim to reduce a projected shortage of 50,000 health IT workers nationwide (Conn, Modern Healthcare, 6/24).

The materials contain 20 curriculum components and are intended to become the foundation for health IT training at community colleges and universities.

The materials cover topics including:

  • Networking;
  • Project management;
  • Technical support;
  • Usability; and
  • Workflow redesign.

According to ONC, regional extension centers could find the materials useful.

Instructors can adjust or combine the teaching materials to meet their needs (Government Health IT, 6/24).
