[sbis_l] Mercado de trabalho para TI em Saúde explode (.... mas nos EUA)

NEW YORK – In August, more than 15,000 jobs were advertised online for
healthcare professionals that have experience with electronic medical
records in the United States, and the market is growing 31 percent
year-over-year, according to market researcher WANTED Analytics.

The HITECH Act provides funding for health providers to convert patient
records into electronic files, causing more medical organizations to
employ this technology and recruit professionals with knowledge of these
systems. The number of job ads increased 31 percent compared to August
of 2011 and 88 percent since August 2010, and is currently the most
commonly required skill in healthcare job ads, say WANTED analysts.

Among the most commonly advertised job openings for healthcare
professionals with EMR or EHR:

Registered Nurse
Nurse Practitioner
Family Practice Physician
Physician Internal Medicine
Physician Assistant
Hospitalist
Medical Billing Coding
Nurse II Inpatient Nursing
Physician
Family Medicine Physician

The metropolitan areas with the highest volume of listings in August
were Minneapolis, New York, Chicago, Phoenix and Boston, according to
the research. While healthcare employers in Minneapolis placed the
highest number of job ads for this talent pool, one of the highest
year-over-year growth areas was seen in New York, where demand grew more
than 245 percent in August 2012 compared to August 2011. The second
highest growth was seen in Phoenix, up 127 percent compared to last year.

The hiring demand is likely to continue as more employers shift their
medical records to electronic systems. Currently, the limited talent
supply of potential candidates with EMR or EHR experience will create
challenges for employers, officials say.

WANTED Analytics finds that employers across the United States spend an
average of six weeks advertising jobs and sourcing candidates for
positions that require electronic skills. Each location will, however,
experience a varying degree of difficulty when sourcing. Companies in
Fairbanks, Alaska are currently experiencing some of the most
challenging overall recruiting conditions, as more employers are looking
to fill jobs in these areas than the local talent supply can support.
Job ads in this area remain online for an average of 7.5 weeks.

By contrast, the locations experiencing the least difficulties
recruiting this talent are Rochester, N.Y. and Chicago, the research
shows. Larger talent supply in these metro areas, means that recruiters
are likely to fill open healthcare positions that require EMR or EHR
skills faster than average
