2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Describe the different types of professionals needed to establish and work with electronic health records and link them in a health information exchange.
Understand the current supply and demand for individuals in the e-Health workforce.
Describe the routes for education, training, and credentialing of these professionals.
Describe the specific roles and functions of health information exchange professionals.

3. The Nature of e-Health Professionals: Their Competencies, Roles, and Work
Who Are the e-Health Professionals?
As such, e-Health refers to the work of health informaticians, health information managers, health information technologists, and HIE professionals, as well as others
Health Informaticians (HI Professionals)
Health informatics (HI) is the discipline that researches, formulates, designs, develops, implements, and evaluates information-related concepts, methods, and tools (eg, ICT) to support clinical care, research, health services administration, and education.

4. e-HEALTH PROFESSIONALS— SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Categories within the area of information technology such as computer network systems analyst (25% growth), information security analysts (37%), computer and information systems managers (15%), computer network architect (15%), and database administrator (15%) are all expected to grow at rates well above the average (of 14% over the 10-year projection period)
Participants in the survey reported the following experiences in hiring and recruiting for these positions:
Difficulty finding project management experience specific to HIEs,
Extended periods of time needed to find qualified candidates who had both a cultural and technical fit to the organization
Lack of a system for networking with peers to
Identify qualified candidates

5. Cont. Health Information Managers (HIM Professionals)
HIM roles are described as health information managers, clinical data specialists, patient information coordinators, data quality managers, information security manager, data resource administrator, and research and decision support specialist.
The HIM practice domains also broadly include planning (administration, policy development, information governance, and strategic planning), informatics, and HIT
Health Information Technologists (HIT or HICT Professionals)
Health information technologists may have a computer science or engineering background and are familiar with ICT (including hardware and software), information systems and networks, and programming.

6. Cont. Health Information Exchange Specialists (HIE Professionals)
HIE professionals extend beyond the technical, legal, and regulatory requirements for data and information governance.

14. DEFINING AND EXECUTING A FUTURE STRATEGY FOR eHEALTH AND HIE PROFESSIONALS
Labor statistics beyond the categories currently available are needed; a category of eHealth workers and/or work should be monitored and tracked. In addition the ONC Health IT Workforce Development Program needs to continue to support HIOs in addressing their skilled workforce needs, particularly in the three areas that have been identified as critical:
Health information management and exchange specialists
Health information privacy and security specialists
Programmers and software engineers

15. SUMMARY
Although great progress has been made over the past decade in introducing the EHR in health care facilities and physicians’ offices, many systems remain siloed, and movement towards a fully integrated electronic network and HIE has been slow.
Hampering the implementation of the technical infrastructure is the lack of adequate eHealth professionals who can not only assist in deployment of systems but who can also work with the information that they contain and who can be instrumental in the establishment of standards for capture, transmission, and sharing of health data.
Given the state of the workforce and training options for HIT and HIE professionals, a national strategy for eHealth human resources is needed in every country for monitoring both supply and demand for these crucial health care workers. We need to be able to better track those individuals who work in eHealth, above and beyond the current labor statistics monitoring HIMs alone, and in monitoring supply of individuals through current training and/or educational programs.
