1 Share of the picture archiving and communication systems administrator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the waiting list coordinator 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 picture archiving and communication systems administrator role treats 8 of its required skills as things a waiting list coordinator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • archive healthcare users' records
  • communicate in healthcare
  • data protection
  • empathise with the healthcare user
  • health records management
  • interact with healthcare users

What stands in the way is 8 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A picture archiving and communication systems administrator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a waiting list coordinator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held use electronic health records management system working with computers
  • already held archive healthcare users' records information skills
  • already held health records management business, administration and law
  • already held data protection information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held medical terminology health and welfare
  • already held perform clerical duties management skills

All 9 carried skills, including the 8 the picture archiving and communication systems administrator 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.
