1 Share of the front line medical receptionist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the clinical informatics manager profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A front line medical receptionist role treats 7 of its required skills as things a clinical informatics manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adhere to organisational guidelines
  • collect healthcare user's general data
  • communicate in healthcare
  • comply with legislation related to health care
  • contribute to continuity of health care
  • follow clinical guidelines

What stands in the way is 18 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A front line medical receptionist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a clinical informatics manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage healthcare staff business, administration and law
  • already held communicate in foreign languages with health service providers communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held collect healthcare user's general data information skills
  • already held medical informatics health and welfare
  • already held contribute to continuity of health care assisting and caring
  • already held comply with quality standards related to healthcare practice assisting and caring

All 10 carried skills, including the 7 the front line medical receptionist role treats as required.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
