RPMS TRAINING CHANGES DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
The OIT RPMS Training team is reviewing scheduled in-person training classes, and will be either converting them into eLearning (i.e. Remote) training, rescheduling for a later date, or cancelling the training sessions per federal lead guidance. Notice has been provided to registered participants for those classes that are impacted. While it may have been a general practice for participants to group in a classroom, break room, or a conference room during an eLearning session, we are recommending participants implement the prescribed social distancing practices when attending these sessions at their respective work sites as well.
RPMS EHR CAC Informatics Training Grid
The EHR CAC Informatics Training Grid helps to lay the foundation and structure for the Clinical Application Coordinator (CAC) Informaticist career path. The objectives are to identify sequentially ordered courses that build on participant knowledge and provide the necessary tools to promote CAC Informaticist success in their various roles.
Access the CAC Informatics Training Grid, .
**Important Note**
The CAC Informatics Training Grid provides a current state guide to role-based training considering both existing curricula and identified needs for future curriculum development. This grid was developed in collaboration with the IHS Chief Health Informatics Officer, Informatics Program Manager, Deployment Manager, Area CACs, and field users, and included consultative input from the Office of the National Coordinator. RPMS training is undergoing assessment and improvement. The RPMS training sessions offered reflect high priority needs based on the training grid, collected Training Needs Assessment data, and input via area CACs. Depending on demand and capacity, additional trainings sessions may be added throughout the year. The CAC Informatics Training Grid may also be modified as the OIT training program evolves to meet field needs.
