Demand for Health Care Informatics Workers on the Rise, Report Finds

Online postings for health care informatics jobs are growing at a faster rate  than postings for several other types of jobs, according to a new report by labor market analytics firm  Burning Glass, CMIO reports (Byers, CMIO, 6/6).

The report — titled, “A Growing Jobs Sector: Health Informatics” — was  prepared for Credentials that Work, an initiative that helps universities align  their program offerings with high-demand jobs.

Report Findings

The report found that between 2007 and 2011, job postings for health  care informatics positions increased by 36%. During the same timeframe, postings  for all health care jobs increased by 9% and postings for all jobs increased by  6%.

Informatics positions currently represent the eighth-largest category of  health care jobs, the report found (Hall, FierceHealthIT, 6/4). It also noted that jobs related  to clinical documentation and analysis represent the fastest growing segment of  health care informatics positions.

Possible Reasons for Job Growth

According to the report, changes in health care policies and payment methods  have fueled a need for more health care informatics workers.

The report noted that health care informatics jobs are becoming “increasingly  integrated into the management of clinical care,” adding that “these positions  have become more skilled, with entry-level jobs upgraded, lower-skilled  positions shrinking and greater clinical knowledge required for higher-level  jobs” (CMIO, 6/6).
