Free smartphone application for Health IT consultants helps physicians select an Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) March 18, 2010 — The American Society of Health Informatics Managers, Inc. (ASHIM) today announced the release and immediate availability of a mobile application for smartphones. The free application enables Health IT Consultants to help physicians select an Electronic Health Record (EHR).
“In today’s rapidly expanding sea of EHR products, most Health IT experts develop a personal preference,” said Susan Nagel, ASHIM’s National HIT Member Services Director, “but having familiarity with only one or two EHRs is about as useful to most physicians as a mechanic who only knows one automotive maker.”
The web-enabled application, called EHRBook, lists products by keywords to narrow the EHR search based on the preferences of the physician. It’s designed for use with the Blackberry, Android, Palm Pre and iPhone mobile platforms. “This puts an entire searchable EHR vendor directory at the consultant’s fingertips,” says Nagel, “they can quickly produce an unbiased product list while they are sitting with the physician.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The American Society of Health Informatics Managers (ASHIM) collects public opinion on new Health IT Jobs to better survey the growing needs of the healthcare industry, the health information technology profession and interests of the engaged American public.
Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) February 10, 2010 — The American Society of Health Informatics Managers (ASHIM) today published results of it survey on Health IT Jobs. ASHIM conducted this survey in response to data from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, which indicated a national deficit of qualified Health IT (HIT) workers. Its purpose was to provide an early stage snapshot of the jobs activities taking place around HIT in the United States.
“While employers are ramping up to adopt Electronic Health Records (EHR), IT workers are looking to augment their skills to meet those needs and to effectively communicate their qualifications,” said ASHIM Senior Vice President Stephanie L. Jones. “ASHIM believes it is important to understand and support the evolving needs of the health care community and will continue conducting this survey, adjusting questions, to inquire about them.”
Survey results show that the hiring public is most interested in HIT professionals with both health care industry and IT experience. Participants of the survey believe Consultants and IT Application Trainers will fill most new positions; followed closely by new sales and technical IT positions. Responders also believe IT professionals will seek additional skills to work in HIT and that specialized HIT certification by working level IT professionals is valuable in the hiring process.
