It’s not uncommon to hear about the high demand of medical-related jobs such as nursing. With an aging Baby Boomer population, the expectation for growing demand in health care jobs is real, according to the Department of Labor‘s Bureau of Labor statistics, which predicted “3.2 million new wage and salary jobs between 2008 and 2018, more than any other industry, largely in response to rapid growth in the elderly population” in an updated February report. IT is expected to reap some of the benefits of this health care growth spurt. Evidence from a couple of new reports from health care IT industry organizations shows demand for health care-related technology jobs is on the rise.
Hospitals, medical clinics, doctor’s offices and other health care organizations are facing government-mandated deadlines in a host of areas such as electronic medical records (EMR), clinical systems and new privacy and medical-coding standards. The U.S. government‘s 2009 American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) requires that health care organizations show “meaningful use” of certified health care IT products if those organizations want to reap the financial subsidies the government is offering, and that is spurring increased technology budgets and new job demand.
