Sectorforce addresses the diverse employer challenges attached to
new health care reform legislation. The underlying strategy can provide information and communication technology solutions that help to meet the Medicare and Medicaid funding and meaningful use
compliance requirements facing the emergent Electronic Health Records
(EHR) sector.
EHR
will become the primary means of documenting, transmitting, and
securing patient information. The EHR goal will impact day-to-day work
for healthcare providers working in a variety of medical settings
including medical and dental practices, rural and urban healthcare
centers and clinics, hospitals, and laboratories. Implementing a
national EHR system requires a workforce with leadership skills, project
management ability, patience, and vision. Trained professionals with IT
skills, as well as knowledge of the business and culture of health
care, will also be in demand.
