 * HITCOMP Tool and Repository || HITCOMP is a searchable database designed for educators, workforce developers, current and future workforce members, eHealth management, staffing experts and other interested parties in healthcare information technology/eHealth. The HITCOMP Tool and Repository can be used to compile information on skills and competencies needed for a variety of healthcare roles, levels and areas of knowledge. || [|HITCOMP] ||
 * Riga e-Health Week Presentation (May 2015) || The presentation focused on the aggregation and synthesis of over 3,000 pieces of competency and role data into 1000 adopted competencies, from over 15 sources of information in five domains, pertinent to 250 healthcare roles in over 30 areas of concentration. We discussed how this large body of work led to development and population of the HITCOMP Tool and Repository, an interactive, open-source searchable database and tool designed for educators, workforce developers, current and future workforce members, eHealth management, staffing experts and other interested active in workforce development in healthcare information technology/eHealth. || [[file:A Digital Solution to the EU-US Skilled Health Worker Shortage-v.8.pptx]] ||
 * Boston e-Health Week Presentation (October 2014) || This presentation, entitled The Learning Economy – The Foundation of a Robust Health IT Ecosystem, details how the work of the EU-US Workforce Development Initiative forms a key component of the Health IT Ecosystem, including providing structure, standards, competencies and a curriculum development springboard for a “learning economy” of health IT-impacted roles within healthcare. || [[file:The Learning Economy - The Foundation of a Robust Health IT Ecosystem-v9.pptx]] ||
 * Athens e-Health Week Presentation (May 2014) || In this presentation, EU-US eHealth Cooperation Initiative – Workforce Development we discussed the background, goals, and initial work performed by the EU-US Workforce Development Community, including the selection of setting, the mapping of roles between the US and EU, and the compiling of the first 250 health IT/eHealth competencies within the Direct Patient Care domain. || [[file:Athens WF Presentation Final V 1 (1).pptx]] ||
