Section 3016 of the HITECH Act, was
intended to provide ‘‘assistance to
institutions of higher education (or
consortia thereof) to establish or expand
health informatics education programs,
including certification, undergraduate,
and masters degree programs, for both
health care and information technology
students.’’ The evaluation of the
Workforce Program is a new information
collection activity which will explore
program challenges, provide critical
formative feedback to the Workforce
grantee institutions on their activities,
and determine whether the Workforce
Program overall was successful in
helping to build a skilled workforce
equipped to meet the heightened
demands of the current environment.
The data collection efforts include a
web-based baseline survey and a webbased follow-up survey of university
students.
This study will use surveys and other
forms of data collection, such as focus
groups and interviews, to assess the
outcomes associated with participation
in the program and to provide useful
feedback to the Workforce grantee
institutions for continuous
improvement. The data collection
efforts include a web-based baseline
survey and a web-based follow-up
survey of university students enrolled in
ONC funded programs.
