Essential Skill and Knowledge Required for Health Data Professionals: A Content Analysis of Job Advertisements.
Article in Perspectives in health information managemen, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Healthcare organizations rely on skilled health data professionals to enhance organizational effectiveness and patient care. This study analyzes recent job postings to identify the prevalent skills, competencies, and technical skills that healthcare organizations are looking for when hiring health data professionals. A content analysis of 34 unique job postings provides key insights into the skill sets and knowledge necessary to fulfill these roles. The findings revealed a diverse range of skills, including analytics, SQL proficiency, business acumen, data visualization, and essential soft skills such as problem solving, interpersonal communication, and project management. Additionally, the education requirements indicate a need for bachelor's degrees or higher for these positions. These findings serve as a valuable resource for both educators and employers in guiding curriculum development and refining hiring practices.
