The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) created the Community College Consortia to Educate Health IT Professionals in Health Care Program to increase the workforce of skilled health IT specialists that can help transition health care providers to electronic health records (EHRs). The Community College Consortia Program includes 82 member community colleges representing all 50 states. The member community colleges received funding to rapidly create health IT academic programs, or expand existing health IT training programs that can be completed in six months or less. This data provides key performance indicators by U.S. state. The data is provided beginning in September, 2010 and through September, 2013: the duration of the program. This data is an artifact of ONC's performance measurement for the Recovery and HITECH acts.
