????熱門原因：兩年前，大約只有五分之一的醫院使用了電子病歷。但在政府激勵計劃的帶動下，使用電子病歷的醫院數量在迅速增多：截至7月底，超過3,600家醫院（約72%）得到撥款，將進行向電子病歷的轉變。但目前大部分工作尚未完成，醫療行業急需技術人員和顧問，協助完成這個轉變。

????工作內容：初級全職從業人員從醫療軟件公司獲得電子病歷模版，并根據臨床需要進行定制化處理。例如，若專家需要知道一名患者的過敏史，電子病歷技術人員就要負責建立這樣一份記錄。亞當?夏德在致力于電子病歷技術人員招聘的Kforce公司擔任總監，負責醫療保健服務提供。他表示，建立電子病歷的過程類似于用PowerPoint進行演示——所有模版都是現成的，只需要添加內容即可。具有一到兩年工作經驗的從業人員可以擔任外部顧問，不僅工作時間靈活，而且收入頗豐。

????能力要求：對于新手，電子病歷專業公司將提供八至十個月的培訓課程。要想進入這個領域，最常見的途徑是具備醫療行業背景，比如擔任過執業護士或者醫務助理，愿意學習如何使用電子病歷軟件。

????用人單位：醫療行業大公司和軟件行業領導者：聯合健康集團（UnitedHealth Group）、醫療軟件公司Epic、醫療軟件服務提供商Allscripts、醫療服務運營商HCA公司、電子病歷解決方案提供商eClinicalWorks公司等。

????薪酬情況：初級50,000美元至60，000美元；有經驗的從業者70,000美元以上。

????Why it's hot:Just two years ago, about one in five hospitals used electronic health records (EHR). Thanks to an incentive program from the government, the number is growing fast: More than 3,600 hospitals (about 72%) received payments to transition to EHR as of the end of July. Much of the work remains, and the health care sector is scrambling for technicians and consultants to aid the switch.

????What you'll do:At the entry level, full-time employees take EHR templates from health care software companies and customize them to fit specific clinical needs. For example, if a specialist requires a history of patient allergies, EHR technicians will build such a history. Adam Shad, director of health care delivery for Kforce, a firm that manages EHR staffing, says the process is analogous to making a presentation in PowerPoint -- the template is there, but the content is not. Those with one or two years of experience can then work as outside consultants with flexible hours and higher pay.

????What you'll need:For those without any prior knowledge, EHR-focused companies will provide their own eight- to 10-month training course. The most common way into the space is with a background in medicine, as a registered nurse, say, or as a medical assistant with a willingness to learn how to use the EHR software.

????Who's hiring:Health care giants and software leaders: UnitedHealth Group (UNH), Epic, Allscripts (MDRX), HCA (HCA), eClinicalWorks.

????What it pays: $50,000 to $60,000 at entry level; $70,000-plus for the experienced.
