What is a Clinical Systems Administrator?

A Clinical Systems Administrator is an IT professional responsible for managing, maintaining, and supporting healthcare information systems such as Electronic Health Records (EHR), Clinical Decision Support Systems, and other clinical software applications. They ensure these systems run smoothly, remain secure, and comply with healthcare regulations like HIPAA. Clinical Systems Administrators also provide technical support to medical staff, perform system upgrades, troubleshoot issues, and help integrate new technologies to improve patient care.

In contrast, the Clinical Data Analyst interprets clinical data to generate insights. Both roles require healthcare IT knowledge, but their core responsibilities differ, making them complementary in healthcare settings.

How does a Clinical Systems Administrator typically interact with clinical staff and IT teams to support healthcare technology?

A Clinical Systems Administrator acts as a crucial bridge between clinical staff and IT teams, ensuring that healthcare software and electronic health record (EHR) systems function optimally. They regularly collaborate with clinicians to understand workflow needs and troubleshoot user issues, while also working closely with IT professionals to implement updates, maintain system security, and manage data integrations. This role often requires excellent communication skills to translate clinical requirements into technical solutions and to provide training or support as needed. Consistent interaction with both sides helps to create a seamless technology experience that supports patient care.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Clinical Systems Administrator, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Clinical Systems Administrator, you need a solid understanding of healthcare IT systems, networking, and database management, typically backed by a degree in computer science or healthcare informatics. Familiarity with electronic health record (EHR) platforms, HL7 standards, and certifications like CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician or Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator are highly valued. Strong problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills help you effectively support clinical staff and manage complex system integrations. These competencies ensure reliable, secure, and efficient clinical systems that directly impact patient care and operational workflows.

CUMBERLAND HEIGHTS

We are looking for you! Do you want to be a part of the team that transforms lives? Cumberland Heights is more than a campus on 177 acres, it's a community. Our mission is providing the highest quality care possible for persons and families who are at risk for or who are suffering from the disease of chemical dependency. Treatment encompasses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of recovery by offering a safe, loving and healing environment, combining professional excellence and the principles of the Twelve Steps.

Cumberland Heights Foundation offers a comprehensive benefits program, which includes:

Medical, Dental and Vision effective 1st day of month following 28 days of employment

Employer Contribution for Health Saving Account or Health Reimbursement Account

401K with Company match and eligibility after 90 days of employment

Paid Time Off (PTO) accrual beginning day (1) one and up to 20 days of PTO the first year 


POSITION SUMMARY

Cumberland Heights is a nationally recognized addiction treatment organization, and the technology that supports our clinical teams directly impacts patient outcomes. As a Systems Administrator, you will own the reliability, security, and continuous improvement of the IT infrastructure that connects our staff and systems across two dozen locations.

This is a high-ownership position. You will move beyond ticket-driven work to proactively identify risks, build resilient systems, and raise the technical bar across the organization. If you thrive in environments where your decisions matter and your documentation outlasts you, this role was built for you.

Infrastructure & Cloud Systems

  • Administer Windows Server environments and cloud platforms (Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID)
  • Manage identity and access controls including Active Directory, group policies, and MFA
  • Oversee endpoint management at scale using Intune and/or SCCM
  • Monitor uptime, performance, and capacity across all locations - and fix issues before users notice them

Security & Compliance

  • Own the security posture: patch cycles, endpoint protection, MFA enforcement, and vulnerability remediation
  • Maintain HIPAA-compliant infrastructure and actively support audit readiness
  • Lead incident response for infrastructure-related security events

Backup & Disaster Recovery

  • Manage backup systems and verify data integrity on a regular cadence
  • Maintain, document, and periodically test disaster recovery plans - not just write them

Network & Connectivity

  • Support multi-site connectivity including VPNs, firewalls, and routing configurations
  • Troubleshoot escalated network and infrastructure issues across all facilities

Documentation & Knowledge Sharing

  • Document systems, configurations, and runbooks to eliminate single points of failure
  • Cross-train team members and actively contribute to a culture of knowledge sharing

Collaboration & Projects

  • Partner with help desk, developers, and leadership to deliver infrastructure that enables the mission
  • Lead or support implementation of new systems, migrations, and tooling rollouts
  • Receive day-to-day technical direction and guidance from the Senior Systems Administrator, who sets priorities, reviews work, and provides mentorship on infrastructure decisions
  • Collaborate closely with the Senior Systems Administrator on cross-site projects, escalations, and infrastructure planning; formally reports to the Chief Science Officer (CSO)

Requirements

Required

  • Bachelor's degree in information technology, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field required
  • 4+ years in a systems administration or infrastructure engineering role
  • Hands-on experience with Windows Server environments
  • Proficiency with Microsoft 365, Azure, and Entra ID
  • Solid networking fundamentals: DNS, DHCP, VPNs, firewalls, and routing
  • Experience with endpoint management platforms (Intune, SCCM, or equivalent)
  • Working knowledge of security best practices and compliance frameworks

Preferred

  • Background in healthcare IT or other regulated environments (HIPAA experience a strong plus)
  • Scripting and automation skills in PowerShell or Bash
  • Hands-on cloud infrastructure experience with Azure or AWS
  • Relevant certifications: Microsoft (e.g., AZ-104), CompTIA (Security+, Network+), or Cisco

Measurable Outcomes

  • Reliability: Measurable reduction in unplanned downtime and incident frequency
  • Security Posture: Consistent patching cadence, strong MFA adoption, clear audit trail
  • Resilience: Tested DR plans, no single points of failure in critical systems
  • Documentation: Runbooks and system docs that the team actually uses
  • Team Capability: Colleagues who can cover key areas when you're unavailable
