Question by Diana Strong: Will there be a demand for tech workers who are trained on electronic health records?
I am taking a course in a Health Information Technology program and training for a position as a tech support staff that will help healthcare providers with their electronic health record system. We are learning how tt implement, configure various EHR systems. The community colleges across the nation have been given grants to train the workforce to help Regional Extension centers (also grant funded by ARRA) to make this happen. Are there or will there be a demand for workers who are skilled in electronic health records?

I would assume so since it is an area that the healthcare industry is trying to improve upon.
