Job Summary

The Clinical Informatics Specialist bridges the gap between clinical floors and technical execution by analyzing, designing, configuring, and optimizing clinical information systems, with a primary focus on the Meditech Expanse EHR. This position requires regular rounding on clinical units to collaborate directly with staff, proactively identify workflow friction, and build, test, and maintain system configurations (including documentation screens, order sets, and preference cards) to maximize operational efficiency and patient safety. The ideal candidate possesses a clinical degree/licensure or an equivalent robust professional background in EHR clinical documentation build. Working within a lean and agile IT team, this hybrid role demands a team-first mindset and a willingness to handle everything from high-level clinical system optimization across multiple modules to routine Tier 1 helpdesk troubleshooting and a shared on-call rotation.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in a clinical, IT, or healthcare field required.
• Active clinical licensure (e.g., RN, DPT) strongly preferred; however, an equivalent track record of hands-on Meditech Expanse application build and system support will be accepted in lieu of licensure.

• Minimum two (2) years of hands-on build, configuration, and support experience with Meditech Expanse Surgical (SUR), Patient Care (PCS), and Order Management (OM) modules.
• Strong understanding of perioperative workflows, rehabilitation services, and inpatient nursing documentation.
• Proven ability to translate frontline clinical workflows into functional system configurations, design specifications, and comprehensive test plans.
• Proven technical aptitude and willingness to handle general IT infrastructure, Tier 1 helpdesk workflows (such as password resets and hardware troubleshooting), and a shared on-call rotation.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to collaborate effectively across a lean, agile, small-team environment where priorities shift quickly.
• Ability to travel less than 10% of the time.
