The project aims to serve the national need of making more healthcare credentials and competencies publicly available to increase the nation’s capacity to fill jobs in the healthcare sector due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Leveraging partnerships with state, national healthcare, and other associations and accreditors will aid in the collection, organization, and analysis of healthcare credentials and competencies. This project aims to publish thousands of additional healthcare credentials with competencies to help healthcare employers utilize credentials for hiring and upskilling workers. By enabling individuals to secure and advance their health career via credentials, the project aims to aid in finding qualified workers with the needed skills and competencies to fill open healthcare positions. Due to COVID-19, this project will address the increased need for publicly available healthcare credential and competency data to advance healthcare workers and help employers fill high-demand jobs in the healthcare sector. The project will develop (1) a nationally scalable infrastructure and a customizable web application to view and compare credentials, (2) partnerships with state, national healthcare and other associations and accreditors to collect, organize, and analyze healthcare credentials and competences, and (3) a foundation to build upon to gather additional healthcare credentials. This project will use the open knowledge network infrastructure developed by Credential Engine to advance the development and availability of healthcare credential and competency information as machine actionable data. The credential and competency data will be encoded as linked open data and published to the Credential Registry and the Web. Having the credential and competency data available online allows the metadata to be consumed by web applications and systems, and ingested by artificial intelligence applications. The project work will leverage, communicate, and be extended through Credential Engine’s partnerships with various organizations and associations to further embed the value of credential and competency transparency to meet labor market needs in the healthcare sector.This RAPID award is made by the Convergence Accelerator program in the Office of Integrative Activities and is associated with the Convergence Accelerator Track B: Future of Work and the Human-Technology Frontier.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目旨在满足国家公开更多医疗证书和能力的需求，以提高该国因2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）而填补医疗行业职位的能力。利用与州、国家医疗保健以及其他协会和认证机构的伙伴关系，将有助于收集、组织和分析医疗保健证书和能力。该项目旨在发布数千个具有能力的额外医疗保健证书，以帮助医疗保健雇主利用证书招聘和提高工人的技能。通过使个人能够通过证书确保和推进他们的卫生事业，该项目旨在帮助寻找具有所需技能和能力的合格工人来填补空缺的卫生保健职位。由于2019冠状病毒病，该项目将解决对公开医疗保健证书和能力数据的日益增长的需求，以提高医疗保健工作者的水平，并帮助雇主填补医疗保健行业的高需求职位。该项目将开发(1)全国可扩展的基础设施和可定制的web应用程序，以查看和比较证书；(2)与州、国家医疗保健和其他协会和认证机构合作，收集、组织和分析医疗保健证书和能力；(3)建立一个基础，以收集更多的医疗保健证书。该项目将使用Credential Engine开发的开放知识网络基础设施来推进医疗保健证书和能力信息作为机器可操作数据的开发和可用性。证书和能力数据将被编码为链接的开放数据，并发布到证书注册中心和Web上。拥有在线可用的凭证和能力数据允许web应用程序和系统使用元数据，并由人工智能应用程序摄取。项目工作将通过Credential Engine与各种组织和协会的合作伙伴关系来利用、沟通和扩展，进一步嵌入证书和能力透明度的价值，以满足医疗保健行业的劳动力市场需求。该RAPID奖项由综合活动办公室的融合加速器项目颁发，并与融合加速器轨道B：工作的未来和人类技术前沿有关。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
