Review of CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician

The exam is intended for IT professionals who are CompTIA A+ certified or have 500 hours of hands-on IT technical experience in the lab or field, plus the knowledge/skills necessary to deploy and support healthcare IT systems in clinical settings.

From the training materials that I reviewed there were may suggestions that the training material was inadequate in some areas.  Although good reviews were presented for overall content and hospital workflow, the books were lacking in more details in areas such as Project Management, Security and Networking.

I typically used more than one resource for all of my certification exams, so I imagine this is no different.  The content does seem more broad in scope than others.

If Healthcare IT is a career aspiration, then it only makes sense to dig deeper in to the technical aspects.  The CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician is great for an overview, but the sum of all of the pieces would be too much for a single book.

I’d recommend using the following study guides for supplement reading. In doing so you would also be in a great position to challenge the other four exams Network+, Security+, Project+ and A+.  These guides will help provide more detail to topics mentioned and covered in CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician study books…
