IT staffing issues

The newly published July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks includes a story I wrote about the worsening staffing crunch in health IT.

Between the rush to install EMRs by January 2011, tighter HIPAA privacy and security requirements and the transition to ICD-10 coding and ANSI X12 5010 transactions, it could be a tough next few years for IT departments. But you probably already knew that.

I'm sure you were not writing from the IT angle. I can't wait for these challenges to hit harder. There is so much work to do, it is FANTASTIC!

IT departments will have to - I hope - go to a new way of thinking. The way in which you match personality with the task and merge it into the detailed Work Flow. I preach this for 20 years and those who listened enjoy. The rest follow in pains and linger with anger and frustration.

Medical practices will need a Technology Expert and not an "IT Guy". All those reactive services will go out the window and Proactive maintenance - rather than Service - will take priority.

The difference will be the match I mentioned in the second paragraph above.
