<h1><font size="3">鬼子也缺人,医院信息化人才匮乏是全世界的问题。作为医学信息学的一个重要分支,就业前景还是很好的。</font></h1><h1>Shortage Of Skilled IT Staff Causing Problems</h1><p> </p><p><strong>The National Programme for IT in the NHS (NPfIT) is having to face up to severe shortages of high-level skills. Richard Granger, director general of NHS IT, made this assessment in a presentation at the HC2005 health informatics conference in Harrogate earlier this month. He said: “There</strong> are real difficulties getting high-quality, properly leveraged teams to deliver complex programmes.” </p><p> </p><p>Granger said that between 100,000 and 250,000 jobs have disappeared from the UK IT industry over the past five years. The traditional succession from analyst to team leader, junior project manager and inter-programme director was “falling apart”, he said. He believes the shortage is causing “big, big problems”. </p><p> </p><p>The shortage of skilled staff is not just a problem facing the NHS. Recruitment of skilled IT professionals will be difficult over the next year as demand for staff rises in the public and the private sector. Project managers and IT staff with business and industry sector knowledge and integration skills will be in particularly short supply, according to recruiters. </p><p> </p><p>In the latest Computer Weekly/SSL Quarterly Survey of Appointments Data and Trends there was a 20% jump in the number of advertised job vacancies at the end of last year from the third quarter of 2004. This is a doubling of jobs advertised compared to the end of 2003. </p><p> </p><p>Source: <a href="http://www.computerweekly.com/articles/article.asp?liArticleID=137533&liArticleTypeID=1&liCategoryID=2&liChannelID=105&liFlavourID=1&sSearch=&nPage=1" target="_blank">ComputerWeekly</a> </p><p> </p><a href="http://bbs.miforum.org/editor/" target="_blank"></a><p> </p><p> </p><p><em>NHS Information Authority 30th March 2005</em></p> |
