March 06, 2012 Published by  SearchHealthIT.com ONC's workforce development program: Prepping grads for EHR employment? Patrick Howard, Member blogger Recently, I've had many discussions on the topic of health IT jobs with the graduates of the HHS/ONC workforce development program. Summarizing, there was a feeling that EHR vendors, hospitals, and other possible employers were requiring specific health IT vendor solution certifications as a pre-requisite even for an interview. Needless to say, with these new graduates lacking certifications, employers are turning to consulting firms and temp agencies for these resources. This got me asking: what changes can be implemented in the various programs to address this? What can employers do? After all, it's the vendors and hospitals that need these resources to implement EHR technologies.

Between walking all over the place, organizing our very first Tweet 'n Meet event and (of course) covering the event, we were certainly busy. Yours truly even got into the act by covering the HIMSS 2012 conference keynote by Twitter Inc. co-founder Biz Stone, appropriately enough, by monitoring Twitter from my desk. Now that everyone has settled back into the usual, not-traipsing-around-Las-Vegas routine, let's look back at what happened at the HIMSS 2012 conference and figure out what it will mean for the rest of the year.
