This week of Nov 1-7 is Health Information and Technology recognition week. Health IT (HIT) is a hot career right now, as medical providers scramble to become compliant with the latest EMR requirements by the imposed deadline.
Health IT was already a growing field, and then, as an additional boost to the industry, $20 billion dollars was earmarked for Health IT and EMR earlier this year in the stimulus package. Furthermore, by 2014, providers who are unable to demonstrate "meaningful use" of EMR will be penalized in the form of fines and cuts in reimbursements. Therefore, EMR software and consulting firms are gearing up for a busy few years, and the field of health IT will continue to grow in demand.
What skills and certifications will employers seek in Health IT professionals? To learn more about health IT careers, how to land a job in health IT, and how to NOT lose your job to EMR, please see below.
