■全球专家数字健康劳动力普查是对支持发展的专家角色的最大劳动力调查,使用,管理,和健康数据的治理,健康信息,健康知识,和健康技术。
■本文旨在对受访者在2023年人口普查中报告的角色和职能进行分析。
■2023年人口普查是使用Qualtrics进行部署的,并于2023年7月1日至8月13日开放。提供了一个广泛的定义,以指导受访者了解谁是专业数字医疗人员。任何自称是该劳动力的人都可以进行调查。使用描述性统计分析和对受访者在其角色中报告的职能的主题分析对数据进行了分析。
■共有1103名受访者完成了人口普查,报告了有关其人口统计信息和角色的数据。大多数受访者居住在澳大利亚(n=870,78.9%)或新西兰(n=130,11.8%),大多数(n=620,56.3%)年龄在35-54岁之间,被确定为女性(n=720,65.3%)。前四名的职业专业是卫生信息学(n=179,20.2%),卫生信息管理(n=175,19.8%),卫生信息技术(n=128,14.4%),和健康图书馆管理(n=104,11.7%)。几乎所有(n=797,90%)的参与者都被确定为经理或专业人士。不到一半(430/1019,42.2%)拥有专业数字健康领域的正式资格。只有四分之一(244/938,26%)持有数字健康领域的证书。尽管有三分之二(502/763,65.7%)报告说在去年进行了专业发展,大多数是自我指导的活动,例如寻找信息或消费在线内容。专业数字卫生工作者承担的工作可以归类为领导,功能,职业,或技术。
■未来的专家数字医疗劳动力能力框架应包括领导力方面,函数,职业,和技术。这个基本上不合格的劳动力正在进行很少的正式专业发展,以提高他们的技能,以继续通过使用数字数据和技术来支持健康和护理的安全提供和管理。
UNASSIGNED: The Global Specialist Digital Health Workforce Census is the largest workforce survey of the specialist roles that support the development, use, management, and governance of health data, health information, health knowledge, and health technology.
UNASSIGNED: This paper aims to present an analysis of the roles and functions reported by respondents in the 2023 census.
UNASSIGNED: The 2023 census was deployed using Qualtrics and was open from July 1 to August 13, 2023. A broad definition was provided to guide respondents about who is in the specialist digital health workforce. Anyone who self-identifies as being part of this workforce could undertake the survey. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and thematic analysis of the functions respondents reported in their roles.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 1103 respondents completed the census, with data reported about their demographic information and their roles. The majority of respondents lived in Australia (n=870, 78.9%) or New Zealand (n=130, 11.8%), with most (n=620, 56.3%) aged 35-54 years and identifying as female (n=720, 65.3%). The top four occupational specialties were health informatics (n=179, 20.2%), health information management (n=175, 19.8%), health information technology (n=128, 14.4%), and health librarianship (n=104, 11.7%). Nearly all (n=797, 90%) participants identified as a manager or professional. Less than half (430/1019, 42.2%) had a formal qualification in a specialist digital health area, and only one-quarter (244/938, 26%) held a credential in a digital health area. While two-thirds (502/763, 65.7%) reported undertaking professional development in the last year, most were self-directed activities, such as seeking information or consuming online content. Work undertaken by specialist digital health workers could be classified as either leadership, functional, occupational, or technological.
UNASSIGNED: Future specialist digital health workforce capability frameworks should include the aspects of leadership, function, occupation, and technology. This largely unqualified workforce is undertaking little formal professional development to upskill them to continue to support the safe delivery and management of health and care through the use of digital data and technology.
