The rapid development in health informatics has improved health outcomes but also poses challenges. Healthcare professionals need health information technology competencies for effective decision-making. This study aims to identify key health informatics competencies and proposes an educational structure to develop these competencies. A convergent design was used as a method for the interpretation of data from a scoping review and a focus group interview. The findings highlight challenges in health informatics pivots in management, interoperability, and patient care. A blended learning method including hands-on skills is suggested to develop health informatics competencies.
