Introduction

Welcome to the CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician HIT-001 Cert Guide. The CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician certification was created due to a growing need for it in the healthcare IT field. The CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician certification is designed to be a vendor-neutral exam that measures your knowledge of industry-standard technologies and methodologies. It serves as a gateway to transition from IT into healthcare IT. This book was developed to be a resource while studying for the exam and also to be a reference while working on the job.

The Healthcare IT Technician exam objectives were designed with the suggestion that the test taker would already have the CompTIA A+ certification. Although having the CompTIA A+ certification before attempting the CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician exam can greatly benefit you, the book does review and explain the CompTIA A+ objectives as needed to pass the exam.
