The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) -- part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 -- gives the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) the authority to promote the adoption and meaningful use of technology in health care. The goal of this adoption is to improve health care quality, safety, and efficiency by storing and transferring patient health care data via Electronic Health Records (EHR).
To facilitate this goal, two regulations were developed. The first regulation is known as “Meaningful Use,” a three-stage process that defines levels of Electronic Health Records systems adoption and gives financial incentives to medical institutions who meet these levels. There are also penalties for those who fail to meet these levels of adoption. The penalties are currently being reviewed by the health community. The second regulation created a consortium of Community Colleges to train the workers who will fill the estimated 51,000 jobs this act will create.
Community Colleges who are members of this consortium will train existing and unemployed workers in six roles, which will aid medical institutions in the transition and management of Electronic Health Records systems. Each of these roles is meant to be delivered over a six month period and all training is to be completed within the next two years. As a consortium member, Southern Maine Community College will be educating workers in four of the six roles starting on September 30, 2010 with plans to prepare 150 workers per year for two years.
These roles include:
- “Practice Workflow and Information Redesign Specialists” to reorganize workflow of medical institutions to take advantage of Electronic Health Records systems from a technical point of view.
- “Clinician/Practitioner Consultants” to build on the role stated above with a focus on training consultants from a medical standpoint.
- “Implementation Support Specialists” to provide support during the implementation phase of Electronic Health Records systems so they meet the needs of the new workflow designed by the technicians mentioned above.
- “Technical Software Support Staff” to provide long-term support of the Electronic Health Records systems.
This program also established Regional Extension Centers. The purpose of the Regional Extension Centers is to furnish education, outreach, and technical assistance to help providers in their geographic service areas select, successfully implement, and meaningfully use certified EHR technology to improve the quality and value of health care. Regional Extension Centers will also help providers achieve, through appropriate available infrastructures, exchange of health information in compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements and patient preferences.
Southern Maine Community College will deliver training through an online format but is open to providing our faculty for in-house training where appropriate. Certificates of completion will be given to students who successfully complete each role.
