Description
In March 2018 the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) began separate but coordinated practice analyses of the Clinical Informatics Subspecialty and Health Informatics. Practice analysis involves the delineation of the major content areas/domains of practice and the specific tasks performed by individuals in a profession, as well as the knowledge and skills required to perform the tasks. The conduct of a practice analysis study results in a comprehensive and contemporary profile of practice in a profession.
The results of these practice analyses can be used to:
1. Articulate clinical informatics tasks/competencies used in practice, as well as the prerequisite knowledge and skills,
2. Develop validated examination blueprints for the domains of practice, competencies/tasks, and knowledge and skills required to practice,
3. Inform training, fellowship, and examination requirements, and
4. Provide insight into maintenance of certification and requirements
The aim of this presentation is to inform CIC participants about the aims, process, results, and uses of these practice analyses
Describe the new knowledge and additional skills the participant will gain after attending your presentation.: 1. Describe why AMIA invested in the Clinical Informatics Subspecialty and Health Informatics practice analyses and how the aims, processes, and results relate to other AMIA initiatives.
2. Describe the purpose, process, and uses of a practice analysis.
3. Compare and contrast the differences between the Clinical Informatics Subspecialty and Health Informatics practice analyses.
