  • Establish and enforce clinical informatics policies, standards, and best practices, including change control and clinical safety/quality oversight.

Clinical & Workflow Excellence

Quality, Safety, and Compliance
  • Ensure clinical informatics deliverables are acceptable, high quality, and standardized to meet clinical, contractual, and regulatory standards (e.g., CMS, The Joint Commission, ONC, HIPAA).
  • Lead clinical risk assessments, safety event reviews related to health IT, and corrective actions.
  • Oversee testing, validation, and go-live readiness for clinical functionality and content changes.

Stakeholder Engagement & Change Management
  • Serve as the clinical liaison among providers, nursing, ancillary departments, IT, operations, and executive leadership.
  • Lead structured change management strategies, including communication plans, stakeholder alignment, and adoption metrics.
  • Direct clinician education, competency, and super-user programs; monitor adoption and satisfaction and remediate barriers.

Contract Leadership & Delivery
  • Manage the contract's clinical informatics scope, staffing, budget (as applicable), milestones, deliverables, and risk management.
  • Produce high-quality documentation (program plans, governance artifacts, status reports, SOPs, validation evidence) and present to internal/external stakeholders.
  • Ensure timely, compliant delivery across environments.

Requirements
  • MD or DO, active and unrestricted medical license in a U.S. state or territory.
  • 8+ years demonstrated experience as a Clinical Informatics Director and/or Clinical Informatics Lead within a healthcare system (government or private sector).
  • Proven leadership of enterprise-level EHR and clinical technology programs (implementation, optimization, upgrades, interoperability).
  • Demonstrated success in clinical workflow transformation, content standardization, and quality/safety initiatives.
  • Strong knowledge of healthcare regulatory frameworks (e.g., HIPAA, CMS quality programs, ONC certification), clinical standards (e.g., terminologies, order sets), and interoperability (HL7 v2, C-CDA, FHIR).
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills; able to influence across clinical and technical teams and executive leadership.
  • Experience leading multidisciplinary teams and managing complex portfolios, budgets, and timelines.

Benefits
  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
