Abstract:

An urgent global imperative is to ensure health workforces have a solid digital health capability to deliver consumer-centred services now and into the future. To address a lack of formal recognition of health informatics knowledge and skills in Australia, the Certified Health Informatician Australasian (CHIA) was launched ten years ago. In that time, 3125 CHIA candidates registered to have their capabilities assessed using a core set of health informatics competencies. This paper presents the demographic profile of people undertaking the examination and trend data of the pass rate over the decade, and identifies possible factors that may lead to higher achievement. Certifications such as CHIA are critical in the professionalisation of digital health specialists and health informatics.
