Are There Any HL7 Jobs?
by Matthew ~ April 20th, 2008. Filed under: HL7 Jobs.Around this time last year, I did a little unscientific research to see where the HL7 jobs were - you can see my results here. With the U.S. economy in a recession, I’m not really concerned where the HL7 jobs are but if there are any jobs at all. Again, using only HL7 as a keyword on the most popular job sites, I found that the demand for people with HL7 knowledge (mostly technical) appears to be even higher than last year. I wasn’t expecting that result, but it is nice to know. Here are the unscientific stats:

Interesting you posted this last week and today we learn that “Study points to need for 40,000 more healthcare IT professionals” (Healthcare IT News) — http://www.healthcareitnews.com/printStory.cms?id=9087
Ultimately the market for HL7 “people” is, IMO, very strong. What they do is unique and requires a strong mix of skills — project management, programming/development, people skills, troubleshooting/debugging, etc.
Thus, in general, healthcare integration (and the need for HL7-aware people) is growing strongly.
On a personal note, NeoTool is hiring HL7 people. Please check out our Dallas-based openings: http://www.neotool.com/about/careers

There is high demand from companies that produce healthcare related technology applications.
In particular, senior level Systems Engineers or Software Architects are in demand, if they have a strong understanding of the demands associated within this environment, along with an HL-7 background.
There are several openings in the Florida area that our company has been filling. hwoo@charterglobal.com.
