To address the growing need for the restructuring of healthcare
records, Kelly Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: KELYA) (NASDAQ: KELYB) today
announced its Health Informatics service offering. Health
Informatics is the intersection of information science, technology
and healthcare and focuses on the application of computer
information systems to healthcare and public health providers.
In order to transform the way the healthcare industry manages
its data, information technologists are creating a systematic
approach to managing individual medical records known as electronic
healthcare records (EHR). EHR will allow medical providers to
access patients' medical histories and prescriptions
nationwide.
Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of
2009, the U.S government has committed significant funding ($20.6
billion) to medical care providers in an effort to encourage
adoption of Health Informatics to assist healthcare providers and
other entities in adopting and using electronic health records.
Healthcare providers must have a required EHR system in place by
2011 to qualify for maximum incentive payments under the federal
economic stimulus package. Penalties will be enforced for
non-adoption.
As the move to Health Informatics continues, Kelly Services will
supply customized healthcare and IT staffing solutions to
healthcare organizations around the country to ensure that they are
prepared for the arrival of health informatics.
"With the cross-functional demands of the Health Informatics
transition, organizations will benefit from a workforce solutions
partner, such as Kelly, with the breadth of service, specialization
and local presence to meet their current and evolving needs," said
Connie Gray, vice president of Kelly Healthcare, a specialized
service of Kelly Services, Inc.
While the creation of EHR can be an expensive and timely process
for many organizations, Health Informatics is expected to improve
the overall condition of the nation's healthcare system, while also
creating thousands of new employment opportunities. Individuals
from various healthcare and information technology backgrounds will
be able to apply their skills and experiences to a crucial industry
that will impact the well-being of millions of Americans.
Kelly Services' comprehensive geographic footprint uniquely
allows for a full continuum of services to be offered nationwide.
Additionally, Kelly Services has extensive experience providing
information technology and healthcare staffing and related services
to organizations throughout the world. This combination of relevant
experience and scope of locations makes Kelly Services a natural
partner for organizations needing to address the health informatics
workplace demands.
According to Gray, "Kelly's candidate pool includes credentialed
professionals in the areas of healthcare administration, nursing
and information technology. Combine this talent with our extensive
experience in program development and Kelly can make our clients'
transition to EHR relatively seamless. It's a great
partnership."
