This project is creating a healthcare IT technician certificate program along with the preparatory curriculum required for community college implementation. Project partnerships comprise the National Workforce Center for Emerging Technologies (NSF ATE Center) at Bellevue College, and the world's largest health IT professional association, the Health Information Management and Systems Society (HIMSS). No technician level information technology certification now exists in healthcare. The Health IT Specialist certification addresses a serious and widening gap. The need for IT technicians in healthcare is unquestionably increasing, as the government funds electronic medical record adoption. This project defines a domain, assessment of competency within that domain, and curriculum to support attainment. A newly codified career pathway facilitates entry for underserved learners, by establishing a recognized industry credential.

该项目正在创建一个医疗保健IT技术员证书计划，以及实施社区大学所需的预备课程。项目合作伙伴包括贝尔维尤学院的国家新兴技术劳动力中心(NSF ATE Center)和世界上最大的卫生信息技术专业协会--卫生信息管理与系统协会(HIMSS)。医疗保健领域现在不存在技术员级别的信息技术认证。健康IT专家认证解决了一个严重且不断扩大的差距。随着政府为电子病历的采用提供资金，医疗保健领域对IT技术人员的需求无疑正在增加。这个项目定义了一个领域，该领域内的能力评估，以及支持成就的课程。通过建立公认的行业证书，新制定的职业道路为服务不足的学习者的进入提供了便利。
