Meeting Etiquette• Participants automatically enter the webinar in “listen only” mode. The
organizer will then unmute all participants. We ask if you are not speaking to manually mute yourself
• NOTE: VoIP participants have the ability to “Mute” themselves by clicking on the green microphone. However, if you would like to speak, only you can unmute yourself.
• If you are dialing in using a telephone and NOT using the VoIP you MUST dial the audio pin in order for the organizer to unmute you – if you do not use the audio pin and just push # when prompted the Organizer cannot unmute you
Meeting Etiquette CONTINUED
• If you are calling from a telephone, please do not put your phone on hold. If you need to take a call, hang up and dial in again when you have completed your other call
• This meeting is being recorded• Another reason to keep your phone or your VoIP on
mute when not speaking• Use the “Chat” or “Question” feature for
questions, comments and items you would like the moderator or other panelists to know.

Release of Global Curricula Draft for Public Comment
• On November 21, 2014, the GHWC released the Draft of the Global Academic Curricula Competencies for Health Information Professionals
• It is a resource for academic programs across health information professions including Health Information Management (HIM), Health Informatics (HI), and Health Information and Communication Technologies (HICT)
• The overarching goal of the initiative is to articulate a common global language between education and industry to develop competency-based curriculum, certifications, and training initiatives which will assist in the development of a global e-health workforce
Release of Global Curricula Draft for Public Comment
• This has been a significant milestone for the Council to achieve in the six short months they have been working together
• This first version provides a foundation for evolving/improving the global curricula and a mechanism to provide leadership in developing an e-health workforce globally
Release of Global Curricula Draft for Public Comment
• There are two versions, a 53-page PDF and a 53-page Word rich-text formatted version
• There are 28 modules, or competency domains
• Each module is organized into curricular content, which contains both academic and other considerations, framing the guidelines that support competency requirements and related Blooms level
Release of Global Curricula Draft for Public Comment
Global Curricula Design and Organization• The global curricula is designed in a modular
format to allow flexibility by academic programs • Guidance on reviewing/commenting on the
module is provided below: – Module Title: Describes the content area – Module Overview: A brief statement that
summarizes the scope of the competencies for the module.
– Competency Level: Each academic level is meant to stand on its own and not build from entry to advanced. Entry level equates to an entry level academic programs such as a two-year Associate degree, the intermediate level to academic programs such as a four-year Bachelor degree, and the advanced/graduate level to academic programs such as Master or Doctorate degrees.
