Healthcare Technology Jobs Are Here to Stay, Reports InformationTechnologyCrossing

Pasadena, CA — With the promotion of information technology in the healthcare industry, the industry is all set for the revolution. The healthcare industry as well as the IT industry will see a major boom in the coming years.

The $19 billion economic stimulus bill signed by President Barack Obama will give a much needed boost to the healthcare information technology sector. This will promote the use of healthcare technology in a big way and will also create a safety revolution in the healthcare sector.

This will encourage e-prescribing in a big way. According to Reuters, as many as 75 percent of US doctors will be writing electronic prescriptions within the next five years and 90 percent will be e-prescribing by 2018. E-prescribing will help prevent medical errors and also would save the US government $22 billion over the next decade according to the report prepared by the healthcare research firm Visante. ''Greater use of e-prescribing also will prevent 3.5 million medication errors and 585,000 hospitalizations by 2018'', as predicted by the Visante report.

''The growth in e-prescription will result in a surge in the demand for healthcare technology professionals. Healthcare technology jobs are becoming increasingly popular, and InformationTechnologyCrossing has already started adding thousands of such jobs to its niche job site,'' says Harrison Barnes, CEO of InformationTechnologyCrossing.

InformationTechnologyCrossing searches, organizes, and displays every information technology job it can find on the Internet. It is a private website, and only members have access to its job-opening research.

''Despite global job cuts, our website has added more than 90,000 jobs in the last week. This is testimony to the fact that niche job boards are way ahead today in terms of providing jobs when compared to traditional media,'' adds Barnes.

InformationTechnologyCrossing tries to leverage the quality of the existing IT job market with the help of advanced efforts put in by hundreds of research analysts. Unlike other job boards that simply herd masses of job listings, InformationTechnologyCrossing filters jobs outside IT industry, allowing job seekers to search efficiently and specifically.
