  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. Step 1: How is the Health IT workforce defined?  • Continue our work to define (internally or for external communication) who is under the umbrella of a health IT workforce • Build on the 3 pillars we identified earlier • Clinical • Informatics/analytics/information management • Information systems • This builds the foundation for identifying and categorizing occupations

  3. Step 2: Brainstorm the key occupations • Get further advice/input from O*NET and BLS on difference between an occupations vs. jobs/role and how determination’s are made? • Granularity of occupations • Under the Pillars identified in Step 1: • Brainstorm the key occupations that fall under each pillar

  4. Step 3: Evaluate how SOC and O*NET categorizes and recognizes the pillars and occupations • What types of occupations identified in step 2 fall under these classifications in the SOC: (see next slide) • Computer and Mathematical • Healthcare Practitioner, Technical and Support • Do we agree with how health IT occupations would fit into the healthcare classification and/or computer classification • How would we justify health care IT jobs as a separate classification from the current classes? What are the specific skills that differentiate? • Is there anything missing? • Informatics is not recognized in the SOC, but is under computer/mathematical classification in O*NET  -- how should “information-worker” occupations be classified?  • Is computer/mathematical the correct designation?  Should it be under Healthcare or is it a separate designation? • Other occupations we identified missing?

  5. 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

  6. Step 4: Identification of occupations missing (or requiring modification) that must be advanced in either the SOC or O*NET? • Based on steps 1 – 3: • What gaps were identified in HIT occupations in the SOC or in O*NET? • Are they current or emerging occupations? • Are there priorities occupations that must be advanced? • Are there groups/association/organizations that can assist with proposals for those priority occupations? • Are there recommendations which should come from the HIT Policy Committee to the SOC Policy Committee related to the HIT Workforce classifications?
