The Australian Health Informatics Competencies Framework and Its Role in the Certified Health Informatician Australasia(CHIA)Program

摘要：

　　The Certified Health Informatician Australasia(CHIA)program consists of an online exam,which aims to test whether a candidate has the knowledge and skills that are identified in the competencies framework to perform as a health informatics professional.The CHIA Health Informatics Competencies Framework provides the context in which the questions for the exam have been developed.The core competencies for health informatics that are tested in the exam have been developedwith reference to similar programs by the American Medical Informatics Association,the International Medical Informatics Association and COACH,Canadas Health Informatics Association,and builds on the previous work done by the Australian Health Informatics Education Council.This paper shows how the development of this competency framework is helping to raise the profile of health informaticians in Australasia,contributing to a wider recognition of the profession,and defining more clearly the body of knowledge underpinning this discipline.This framework can also be used as a set of guidelines for recruiting purposes,definitions of career pathways,or the design of educational and training activities.We discuss here the current status of the program,its resultsandprospectsfor the future.
