Registered nurse (RN) licensure was required for 40.8% of posts, and only 7.3% required formal education in health informatics. The average experience overall was 1.6 years (standard deviation\u2009=\u20092.2), with bachelor's and master's education levels increasing mean experience to 3.5 and 5.8 years, respectively. Electronic health record support, training, and other clinical systems were the most sought-after skills.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003This cross-sectional study revealed the importance of a clinical background as an entree into health informatics positions, with RN licensure and clinical experience as common requirements. The finding that informatics-specific graduate education was rarely required may indicate that there is a lack of alignment between academia and industry, with practical experience preferred over specific curricular components. Clarity and shared understanding of terms across academia and industry are needed for defining and advancing the preparation for and practice of health informatics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1726423","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,1]],"date-time":"2021-04-01T07:49:52Z","timestamp":1617263392000},"page":"285-292","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["What
