CEHRS: A Growing Job in the Medical Field

(This post was originally published on iQ Thinks.)

As hospitals and doctors transition to electronic records, some organizations have hired Certified EHR Specialists (CEHRS) to manage the records. CEHRS are multi-talented employees, possessing both medical records knowledge and IT skills. Hiring a specialist can benefit both doctors and patients, by improving the accuracy and efficiency of the EHRs. CEHRS can also benefit the organization by helping decide what EMR system is best for the organization.

Many people with either medical office backgrounds or IT backgrounds are training for CEHRS certification. So what makes a specialist ready for employment? One agency lists five criteria that an aspiring specialist should accomplish before they are hired:

Get healthcare and EHR expertise.

Study with an NHA-approved curriculum.

Obtain more hours of EHR training than the baseline.

Become fluent in healthcare records compliance.

Learn multiple EHRs.

As EHR usage increases, expect the demand for CEHRS to do likewise.
