Health Informatics Certification Prep Review (HI-CPR) Program
The VHA informatics workforce is expected to develop and maintain informatics competencies needed for the implementation and maintenance of the new electronic health record. The Health Informatics Certification Prep Review course (HI-CPR) was developed using the VA AMIA 10 x 10 content mapped to the AMIA Health Informatics Delineation of Practice (DoP) document that lists the knowledge, skills, and tasks that informaticians should possess in their field. The resources presented within this course have been mapped to address each area of knowledge.
The purpose of this program is to provide:
- Informatics materials that have been mapped to the AMIA Health Informatics Delineation of Practice (DoP) document.
- Valuable tools for informaticians seeking to prepare for various informatics certifications.
The HI-CPR program consists of eleven modules, which include a mixture of general education and accredited courses within each module:
