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 course 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.

 This course consists of 11 modules each with a pre and post test. 

Audience:  It is open to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge in informatics or those studying for an informatics exam.

Format:  This course utilizes a mix of video lectures and online discussion as well as individual activities hosted via a learning management system called Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment). 

Course work is primarily asynchronous (independent, self-paced).  Students can choose (but are not required) to form study groups if desired. 

Schedule: 

• January 8  to June 30^th 

We are in the process of transitioning this course over to TMS.  The second session will be delayed.
