• Advancing initiatives that improve documentation efficiency, care team communication, and workflow standardization
• Ensuring alignment across workflows impacting clinical documentation, orders, care coordination, and downstream processes
• Providing at-the-elbow support, rounding, and real-time issue resolution to strengthen adoption and trust
• Identifying opportunities to enhance workflow integration, usability, and care team experience
• Supporting workflows that are standardized and scalable across regions, ensuring alignment with system-wide design and governance

Core Responsibilities

• Serve as an informatics liaison between clinical end users, operational leaders, and Information Systems
• Analyze, design, configure, test, and support clinical information systems and workflows
• Act as a consultant for process redesign and workflow improvement initiatives
• Support project implementation, change management, and user adoption
• Identify, triage, and coordinate resolution of system and workflow issues
• Participate in governance, prioritization, and cross-functional collaboration efforts
• Perform rounding and engagement with nursing and clinical teams to maintain strong communication and alignment

(Responsibilities reflect the standard Senior Clinical Informaticist scope at Munson Healthcare.)

What's Required

• Bachelor's degree in healthcare or related field.
• A minimum of 3 years experience in a licensed or certified healthcare professional role or a minimum of 2 years in the role of Clinical Informaticist at a MHC facility with demonstrated ability to successfully understand and interact in the clinical environment per defined criteria.
