The recent survey for the Healthcare Information Technologists (HCITs) in the Chugoku region shows that over 60％ of them understand the 3C (Communication, Collaboration, Coordination) of HCIT insufficiently. The authors thus clarify what kinds of approaches to educate HCITs working at healthcare fields practically are discussed in the academic papers and proceedings concerning the medical informatics. Searching from the database of the Japan Medical Abstracts Society, the Proceedings of the Joint Conference on Medical Informatics and Japan Journal of Medical Informatics, the authors extract documents including the word “Healthcare Information Technologist”, then classify them by other keywords concerning these documents such as “management”, “the 3C”, etc. The authors found that the documents discussing the 3C and its similar concepts are hardly published after 2011. The authors assert that the way of learning the basic concepts of HCIT such as the 3C must be reviewed.
