ONC Workforce Development Program

October 13th, 2010

ONC Health IT Workforce Development Program

In April, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) awarded $84 million in cooperative agreements for the Health IT Workforce Development Program to help ensure that health professionals have the technical support they need to adopt electronic health records.

The University of Texas at Austin’s Health IT Summer Certificate Program graduated its first class of students, who are now certified Health Information Managers and Exchange Specialists.

Health IT classes are under way at 84 community colleges that are using the curriculum developed through the Curriculum Development Centers Program.

All in all, ONC’s Health IT Workforce Development Program is expected to reduce the shortfall of skilled health IT professionals by 85 percent.
