2 Lesson 10 Job Roles/Opportunities and Professional Organizations Opportunities in the area of health informatics are abundant. Now more than ever before the opportunity for growth and advancement is unlimited in a dynamic, evolving, and challenging environment. There are so many areas that one can choose from, whether to be in an acute care setting, like a hospital, or in an ambulatory setting if you decide to specialize in pharmacology, nursing, or radiology or if you go into the healthcare information system from the IT end. The clinical software now being mandated for all healthcare facilities is vital to the success of every healthcare endeavor. In the last few years, the clinical/health information systems have become a major driver in care delivery. More physicians are entering information systems organizations to support these efforts. The increased numbers of clinicians have increased the need for leadership. These leasers are needed to define, develop, install, consult, and market these systems. Technology has advanced rapidly. It has significantly facilitated complex interfaces, communication, and networking of diverse systems, not only across the continuum of care, but also across the complexities of integrated delivery networks and alliances. Data collected through sophisticated healthcare systems are now available across the healthcare enterprise. The role of the healthcare worker has evolved to take advantage of the technology and in many cases, drive the technology. The ability to learn on the job, communicates effectively, and exercise patience are important skills. Leaving the bedside to move into the development of patient carerelated systems is a viable transition, but the prospective candidate must be comfortable leaving patient care. To make this transition the healthcare worker must also become a facilitator and user of resources without necessarily having control or authority over those resources. Education is the key to moving up into leadership roles. Certificates will gain you entry level into the healthcare field in positions that require IT skills, such as Medical Records Clerk, Unit Coordinator, and Patient Coordinators in registration/intake/admissions. An Associates degree will open the door further by giving you entry level positions into IT, on the Helpdesk or Operations. If you combine the Associates with a healthcare certificate (LPN, MA, etc) you will be eligible to apply for positions such as in Clinical IT Support, Junior Application Coordinator/Analyst, and Junior Project Managers. The completion of a bachelor s degree is vital in moving up the ladder. Many healthcare workers today continue their education to obtain a master s degree in clinical specialties or in business to get an extra boost toward not only a future leadership role in information systems management, but also an executive role. Once you are in the field, one way to move ahead is to act as a user liaison on any information systems steering committees. Even if you are an entry level healthcare

3 worker, make yourself a super user. (Users who deal with first-line support problems and queries. This is typically in specific application areas, or geographical locations, where there is not the requirement for full-time support staff.) Another way is to market new systems within the hospital and use the work experience to transition into a new career in information systems. The experience gained, combined with your healthcare experience may carry you into the informatics field. Volunteering for opportunities on information systems projects is also a smart way to gain experience and exposure. Get to know the IT mentors. Another valuable nonfactual job experience is getting involved with vendors and user committees and attending national conferences. (A bit later we will cover some of the most recognized professional health informatics organizations which sponsor these types of conferences.) Health Informatics jobs can be divided into many different categories and subcategories Let s take a look at a few of the jobs out there. User Liaison/Account Manager When a clinical information system is installed in an integrated delivery network, it is necessary to coordinate the needs of the institution and staff with the capabilities of the system. Usually, a systems steering committee is formed. Participating in the steering committee is an excellent way to gain systems knowledge and exposure and to interact with hospital wide users, vendors, consultants, and administrators. Duties of the steering committee also include needs analysis, participation in the selection of the systems, definition of the systems, and coordination of installation. The job role of user liaison includes teaching, accurate and complete documenting and developing efficient and effective methods of patient care delivery with a step by step problem solving approach after being training on the new system Clinical Systems Installation/Vendor There is a growing need for candidates qualified to install various component of medical information, order entry, communication, productivity, acuity, and staffing systems. An installation person is often on the market team during and after the sale of a software package. The main task of the installer is to train the users and help them over the rough spot during and after conversion to the new system. Additionally, the installer must be a negotiator and liaison, acting as the bridge between the user and the software vendor. Working for the software vendor adds a new dimension. The job entails being an advocate of the user s position and needs while ensuring that the system is installed according to the design parameters. These positions often require 50 percent or more traveling time, a solid understanding of how the components of an integrated delivery network operate, excellent communication and presentation skills, and a solid understanding of systems. The vendor does give training, and many companies give as much as 6 months of training.

4 Product Manager/Vendor Product management is one of the most exciting professional moves that have become available in the last few years. The responsibilities of product management and production definition are loosely defined and can change from vendor to vendor. The duties often overlap into marketing. This is a position that is also available in house via the IT department in the integrated delivery network side. A person in product management is responsible for constantly updating the current product and keeping abreast of all developments in the field. Product managers must be cognizant of the current and future needs of the clients and determine whether these needs can be or should be incorporated into the product. Product managers must interface with marketing staff, clients, technical staff, and management personnel to produce usable and marketable product in a timely manner and at the best price. They must satisfy the needs of one client without compromising the needs of other clients or capabilities of the technical staff. This position generally begins as a staff role requiring excellent communication and negotiation skills. Success in this position can lead to highlevel strategic planning position with expanding responsibilities and compensation. Marketing Support/Vendor Market support is defined differently by various organizations. The classic definition involves technical sales support to the salespeople and additional explanations to the client. With so many patient care and ancillary system in development healthcare workers are needed to assist in closing the sale. To be a good marketer, it is important to listen closely to the needs of clients. Discovering the reasons why software products answer the needs of the clients is very important. Market support personnel must possess excellent written and oral communication skills and understand the marketing cycle. They must be able to identify the decision makers. Consultant All of the information systems consulting firms have healthcare workers in informatics roles. The ideal candidate for a consulting firm has excellent written and oral communication skills, and a sound knowledge of systems. Consultant should be analytical problem solvers, independent, creative, and assertive. Consulting is a high pressure field. Projects can range from needs analysis and selection of vendors, to strategic planning, cost-benefit studies, and system audits.

5 Quality Improvement Quality Improvement deals with a combination of clinical and information technologies. Sophisticated organizations recognize how important the role of data is in process improvement. For this reason, there is an increasing emphasis put on how to get the data necessary to measure outcomes and the effects of process improvement This field requires clinical, personal, and technical skills. With regard to clinical skills, a well-rounded clinical background with an understanding of the importance of the continuum of care is desired. Quality improvement clearly involves process improvements that span across the continuum of care. Personal skills must also include a passion for excellence and the interpersonal skills to negotiate with caregivers. The technical skills necessary in order to be successful require understanding data and how to retrieve data. A sound knowledge of the existing systems and how they interface enable the Quality Improvement Specialist to identify where data can be found and to verify the reliability of the data. Analyst Health care information system analysts are responsible for a wide range of activities related to the successful automation of information management. They may be clinicians who became involved in the system selection an training. Many learned their role on the job and furthered their education by taking computer or information science classes. Analysts interview staff, determine user needs, write specifications for software performance, participate in some computer programming and debugging, implement new automated functions, perform upgrades on current software, and document program specifications and changes. Analysts who lack a clinical background may not be paid well initially (depending what part of the information system they are supporting), but with experience and additional preparation their earning potential increases. Trainer Trainers are responsible for educating clinical users in one or more applications an may also be required to define and monitor user competencies. Trainers may or may not have a clinical background but have knowledge of the specific computer application that they are teaching. This role may be filled as a permanent position or may be done by other information system or clinical staff. Project Manager The Project Manger is the person who has the overall responsibility for the successful planning and execution of any project. The Project Manager must possess a combination of skills including an ability to ask penetrating questions, detect unstated assumptions and resolve interpersonal conflicts as well as more systematic management skills. Key amongst his/her duties is the recognition that risk directly impacts the likelihood of

6 success and that this risk must be both formally and informally measured throughout the lifetime of the project. A good Project Manager can reduce risk significantly, often by adhering to a policy of open communication, ensuring that every significant participant has an opportunity to express opinions and concerns. Project Managers often use project management software to organize their tasks and workforce and to create reports and charts. Professional Organizations The International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) is an independent organization established under Swiss law in The organization was established in 1967 as Technical Committee 4 of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). In 1979, it evolved from a Special Interest Group of IFIP to its current status as a fully independent organization. IMIA continues to maintain its relationship with IFIP as an affiliate organization. The organization also has close ties with the World Health Organization (WHO) as a NGO (Non Government Organization). The working language of IMIA is English. Purpose, Goals, Objectives: IMIA plays a major global role in the application of information science and technology in the fields of healthcare and research in medical, health and bio informatics.
