Evaluation of the IT Professionals in 

Health Care: University-Based Training. 

The Workforce Program, created under 

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. 

ONC is interested in developing a 

comprehensive understanding of the 

planning, implementation, and 

effectiveness of the Workforce Grant 

Program. The evaluation will determine 

how the Workforce Grant Program has 

contributed to the development of 

comprehensive, integrated health IT 

training programs across community 

colleges, universities, and other 

programs. 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 followup survey of university students 

enrolled in ONC funded programs. 

The anticipated data collection will 

begin in June 2011. Data collection will 

occur continuously through the 24 

months of the campaign. The data 

collected will help identify 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.
