  1. Planning Steps for Standard Occupational Classification Modifications Related to the HIT Workforce Michelle Dougherty, MA, RHIA, CHP Director of Research & Development AHIMA Foundation michelle.dougherty@ahimafoundation.org 312-233-1914

  2. Discussion • Understand the granularity of occupations in the SOC by reviewing the detailed occupations • Particularly for Information System occupations where there is a healthcare designation reported by employers • Review the options for where to classify new health IT occupations • Discuss the pro’s and con’s of each option • Discuss what differentiates a health IT occupation

  3. 2010 SOC Major Groups • 11-0000 Management Occupations • 13-0000 Business and Financial Operations Occupations • 15-0000 Computer and Mathematical Occupations • 17-0000 Architecture and Engineering Occupations • 19-0000 Life, Physical, and Social Science Occupations • 21-0000 Community and Social Services Occupations • 23-0000 Legal Occupations • 25-0000 Education, Training, and Library Occupations • 27-0000 Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports, and Media Occupations • 29-0000 Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations • 31-0000 Healthcare Support Occupations • 33-0000 Protective Service Occupations • 35-0000 Food Preparation and Serving Related Occupations • 37-0000 Building and Grounds Cleaning and Maintenance Occupations • 39-0000 Personal Care and Service Occupations • 41-0000 Sales and Related Occupations • 43-0000 Office and Administrative Support Occupations • 45-0000 Farming, Fishing, and Forestry Occupations • 47-0000 Construction and Extraction Occupations • 49-0000 Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Occupations • 51-0000 Production Occupations • 53-0000 Transportation and Material Moving Occupations • 55-0000 Military Specific Occupations Each occupation in the SOC is placed within one of these 23 major groups . Attached file includes details for Computer/Math and Healthcare

  4. Option 1: Build on existing Minor Groupunder 29-2000 Health Technologists & Technicians • 29-2070 Medical Records and Health Information Technicians (Broad Group) • 29-2071 Medical Records and Health Information Technicians • Options: • Request modification of Broad Group title and/or description • Modify existing 29-2071 (Medical Records and Health Information Technicians) • Request additional occupations under this group

  5. Option 2: Request New Detailed Occupations to the 15-0000 Computer and Mathematical Occupations • Need to recognize that there are healthcare designations for detailed occupations under these broad groups: • Computer and Information Analysts • Software Developers and Programmers • Database and Systems Administrators and Network Architects • Computer Support Specialists • With a healthcare designation is more needed? • If so, what? • Are there other Information Systems Support roles that aren’t reflected? • In O*Net Nurse Informaticists were placed under Computer and Information Analysts rather than Healthcare. • Do we think informaticist roles should be under healthcare? Why?

  6. Option 3:  Request new minor categories in Healthcare under 29-XXXX (such as 29-3000 for example) 29-3000 Health Information Technology • 29-3010 Clinical • Nurse Informaticist • Bio-medical Informaticist • Others… • 29-3030 Health Informatics, Analytics and Information Management • Data analyst • Others… • 29-3050 Info Systems Support • Health it specialists/programmer • Others…

  7. Option 4:  Request an addition of a new Major Category for Health Information Technology • Health Information Technology (Major Group) • 30-0100 – Clinical  (Minor Group) • Clinical Informaticist (Broad Group) • Biomedical Informaticist • Nurse Informaticist • 30 – 0200 – Health Informatics, Analytics and Information Management (Minor Group) • Data analyst • Data integrity specialist • 30 – 0300 -- Info Systems Support (Minor Group) • Health it specialists/programmer • Other

  8. Summary • What differentiates HIT occupations from Computer/Math occupations? • What HIT occupations are missing from the SOC? • Is it possible to have one HIT occupation? • What are the broadest descriptions for those occupations? • Are there existing education paths and career paths to these occupations (e.g. degrees, certifications)? • Can we get workforce data? • Where are people working, what are they doing in their work, what is their background? • Next Steps
