The Columbus, Ohio-based company has simultaneously released its inaugural 2024 EHR Salary Insights Report, offering valuable insights into the industry’s workforce trends.
Rebranding and industry focus

Key findings from the 2024 EHR Salary Insights Report
The report, based on a nationwide survey of 284 healthcare IT professionals, reveals several important trends:
- 77% of participants are either actively seeking new jobs or plan to do so within the next year, citing limited upward mobility and compensation dissatisfaction as primary reasons.
- Nearly 70% of participants work fully remotely, with 62% of these professionals indicating they would seek another remote position if required to return to the office.
- While 72% of employees report satisfaction with their work-life balance, only 42% are content with their compensation, and 56% feel limited in their career growth opportunities.
“The data aligns with what we’ve been observing in the industry—many experienced professionals feel limited in their current roles,” said Zach Alpern, Managing Director at bloomforce.
“Employers should consider creating more advanced positions to provide career growth opportunities.”
Bloomforce plans to leverage these insights to enhance its services, which include staff augmentation, direct hire, and contract-to-hire across various roles in the healthcare IT sector.
As the industry continues to evolve, bloomforce’s rebranding and insights position it to address the sector’s growing workforce challenges effectively.
