CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician Certification

CompTIA recently introduced a new Healthcare IT technician certification that validates the skills and knowledge necessary to provide hardware and software support for medical environments that use an electronic health record (EHR) system.

The CompTIA Healthcare IT certification closely maps to two job roles identified by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT, i.e. implementation support specialists and technical and software support staff for skilled health IT specialists. This certification is expected to be in big demand with the federal government estimating that 50,000+ new healthcare IT professionals will be needed to implement and support EHR systems in the coming years.

CompTIA recommends that individuals interested in the healthcare IT certificate also hold the CompTIA A+ certification, which validates foundation-level knowledge and skills for PC support, installation, preventative maintenance, networking, security, and troubleshooting.

The CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician certificate exam covers the following areas:
• Regulatory requirements
• Organizational behavior
• IT operations
• Medical business operations
• Security

The test engine has been built to closely resemble the testing platform one would encounter for an actual exam.

ISACA & EC-Council sign MOU

From past few years, ISACA has actively increased the opportunities to present themselves to make an impact on ever broader constituencies in the IT field. The CEO of ISACA, Susan M. Caldwell announces that ISACA has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the EC-Council.

This bilateral agreement between ISACA and EC-Council was drawn up to advance the information security profession, with special focus on certifications. Specifically, the agreement stipulates that ISACA’s Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certification will take the place of EC-Council’s Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) credential for those CISAs applying to become Licensed Penetration Testers (LPT). CISAs pursuing the LPT certification can instead take EC-Council’s Certified Security Analyst exam. In addition, ISACA will grant one CPE hour credit toward the CISA certification for each hour of the CEH exam.

This agreement is really beneficial to busy professionals who have the commitment and motivation to pursue credentialing to advance their careers, but have limited time to apply to it. Enabling those individuals to bypass a step or gain CPE credit for activities that previously did not earn CPE is a way to help them and help the profession.
