Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Background: The digitalisation of the healthcare system is closely linked to medical informatics, biomedical informatics and medical information management. These disciplines require optimally trained specialists with specific skills. Objective: To develop a competency catalogue to support the design of curricula for bachelor programs in medical informatics, health information management, and biomedical informatics. Methods: A group of experts developed a competency catalogue based on a series of workshops, reviews of current degree programs, and international and national recommendations. Results: The GMDS Competence Catalogue for (Bio-)Medical Informatics and Health Information Management Bachelor Programs was developed, consisting of 234 competences divided into four chapters and 51 topics. Conclusions: The catalogue provides a toolbox of potential competences to be taught for developing or describing the profile-specific range of competences of a study program. It can support the development and accreditation of study programs as well as the comparison of study programs.
