2. Meeting Etiquette • Participants automatically enter the webinar in “listen only” mode. The organizer will then unmute all participants. We ask if you are not speaking to manually mute yourself • NOTE: VoIP participants have the ability to “Mute” themselves by clicking on the green microphone. However, if you would like to speak, only you can unmute yourself. • If you are dialing in using a telephone and NOT using the VoIP you MUST dial the audio pin in order for the organizer to unmute you – if you do not use the audio pin and just push # when prompted the Organizer cannot unmute you

3. Meeting Etiquette CONTINUED • If you are calling from a telephone, please do not put your phone on hold. If you need to take a call, hang up and dial in again when you have completed your other call • This meeting is being recorded • Another reason to keep your phone or your VoIP on mute when not speaking • Use the “Chat” or “Question” feature for questions, comments and items you would like the moderator or other panelists to know.

7. Workforce Development Timeline

8. Selection Criteria for Competency • Picking a group that has significant Health Informatics activity as part of his/her day to day job • Direct Patient Care • Clinical • Intermediate

9. Approaches to Refining Competencies… Preferred Approach • Competency Buckets • We consolidate the silos of competencies provided to us into one Master list • From that list we apply competencies at the Bucket Level • Example: What competencies qualify as Direct Patient Care, Clinical, Intermediate and we form a smaller list from the large competency list for those • After we have completed the Competency Bucket Mapping we review the assignment made to the Acute Care Roles and tweak them as necessary (basically all Acute Care Direct Patient Care, Clinical Intermediate would have the same competencies to start and then we would tweak as necessary

10. Option A: Pros and Cons • Cons • We may miss some of the nuances • Our master list will be very large and somewhat unwieldy – which means more time in the beginning getting the list together • Classifying the competencies into our buckets will take time • Pros • We have done this process before when identifying roles (master list vs. acute Care) • We only have to create the list one time • This falls into the “lumping” category which makes it easier to start • Falls in line with the vision leadership team has for the Athens meeting

11. Approaches to Refining Competencies A Pilot Approach • SystemsPerspective Approach • Identifying systems in the Acute Care setting • Identifying system capabilities/skills necessary to interact with the systems • Identifying staff interacting with the systems (roles) • Skill-Role mapping

12. Option B: Pros and Cons • Cons • How do we define a system ? and how do we define what systems are in the Acute care setting?   • Identifying system capabilities will be hard • Variability of systems in Acute Care depending on hospital and country • Variability in terms of vendors, which affects system capabilities • Need to get conversations with vendors and Acute Care hospital to get list of systems and capabilities • Pros • Once system capabilities are identified, it will be very easy to identify the staff interacting with the systems and mapping the skills to roles

13. Next Steps • Review Competencies Spreadsheet • Call for additional Competency Silos to add to this spreadsheet
