OCHIN has received a $2 million congressional appropriation to help bolster the health care workforce across Oregon by expanding technical training and launching new career opportunities for people interested in health information technology (HIT).
Championed by U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden of Oregon and U.S. Representative Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01), the U.S. Department of Labor funding will enable OCHIN to train upcoming electronic health records (EHR) support analysts and place them in roles at rural and community health organizations statewide. These technical positions are essential to ensuring high quality care, as well as patient and provider satisfaction.
OCHIN offers training and development opportunities for a wide variety of health careers nationwide—supporting clinics’ growing operations, improving access to whole-person care, and creating new career pathways for local communities.
