Students Trained through ONC Workforce Programs

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) created the Community College Consortia to Educate Health IT Professionals in Health Care Program and University-based Training Program to increase the workforce of skilled health IT specialists that can help transition health care providers to electronic health records (EHRs). The Community College Consortia Program includes 82 member community colleges representing all 50 states, and the University-based Training Program includes 9 member universities in 9 states. The member community colleges and universities received funding to rapidly create health IT academic programs, or expand existing health IT training programs that can be completed in six months or less. This data provides the number of students trained through both programs, segmented by rural and urban areas for each U.S. state. The data is through September, 2013: the duration of the program. This data is an artifact of ONC's performance measurement for the Recovery and HITECH Acts

国家卫生信息技术协调办公室（ONC）创建了社区学院联盟，旨在教育医疗保健信息技术专业人才项目以及基于大学的培训项目，以增加能够协助医疗服务提供者过渡至电子健康记录（EHR）的熟练医疗保健信息技术专业人员的队伍。社区学院联盟项目包括来自所有50个州的82所成员社区学院，而基于大学的培训项目则包括9个州的9所成员大学。这些成员社区学院和大学获得了资金，以迅速创建医疗保健信息技术学术课程，或扩展现有可在六个月内或更短时间内完成的医疗保健信息技术培训项目。此数据提供了通过这两个项目培训的学生人数，并按美国各州的城乡区域进行了细分。数据截止至2013年9月，即项目持续期间。这些数据是国家卫生信息技术协调办公室对恢复和HITECH法案绩效测量的一个实例。
