HITComp is our online eHealth competency tool and resource. Omni Micro Systems – Omni Med Solutions
co-developed and maintains HITComp as an open-source platform available to all
members of the eHealth and digital communities on a global basis.
HITComp is a searchable database designed for educators,
workforce developers, current and future workforce members, students, eHealth
managers, staffing experts and other interested parties in healthcare
information technology/eHealth.
The HITComp Tool and Repository can be used to
compile information on skills and competencies needed for a variety of
healthcare roles, levels and areas of knowledge.
You can sort over 1000
competencies in five domains – Direct Patient Care, Administration,
Informatics, Engineering/IS/ICT and Research/Biomedicine. Competencies are
associated with a particular level of skill (Baseline, Basic, Intermediate,
Advanced and Expert). Competencies are also mapped to over 250 health
IT-impacted roles in Acute Care and other health care settings in each of the
five domains.
There are two types of queries you can perform within
HITComp: role-based and competency-based. From the Competency tab, you can
perform a search from our database of competencies. With a competency search
you can aggregate results by domain, by level, or within 33 areas of competency.
From the Roles tab, you can perform a search of eHealth impacted job roles in
healthcare. You can filter and sort your search by domain, by job type and
service category, and by matching competency levels.
You can also display the
equivalent role in five European languages (UK English, French, German, Italian
and Spanish). A description of each role is given.
Finally, you can export your
search results from either tab to a file for your own use.
