Clinical Informatics Specialist Competency Assessment

Healthcare organizations need standardized tools to evaluate the technical and clinical competencies of their informatics teams. This Clinical Informatics Specialist Competency Assessment provides a structured framework for testing skills across EHR optimization, clinical decision support configuration, data analytics, and workflow analysis—the core pillars of modern healthcare informatics.

Designed for healthcare IT departments, hospitals, clinics, and consulting firms, this assessment helps identify skill gaps, inform training priorities, and ensure informatics specialists have the expertise needed to support clinical operations. Whether you're onboarding new staff, conducting annual reviews, or certifying team readiness for major system implementations, this template gives you a professional, thorough evaluation tool.

With Paperform, you can customize assessment criteria to match your organization's specific EHR platform (Epic, Cerner, Meditech, etc.) and add conditional logic to tailor questions based on role level or specialty focus. Results sync directly to your HR systems or learning management platforms via Stepper workflows, automatically generating development plans and training recommendations based on scored responses.

The assessment covers practical scenarios, technical knowledge checks, and real-world problem-solving questions that reflect the day-to-day challenges informatics specialists face—from optimizing clinical workflows and building decision support rules to analyzing population health data and managing system upgrades. Use this template to maintain high standards across your informatics team and demonstrate competency for regulatory and accreditation requirements.
