About The Position

Adventist Healthcare seeks to hire an experienced Epic Clinical Information System Analyst II for our Anesthesia department who will embrace our mission to extend God’s care through the ministry of physical, mental, and spiritual healing. This role involves independently analyzing intermediate-to-advanced operational and clinical requirements; designing workflows and configuring, building, testing, validating, and maintaining Epic application functionality using established standards and best practices. The analyst will own complex application incidents and requests, perform root-cause analysis, coordinate cross-application troubleshooting, implement sustainable resolutions, and ensure timely communication with affected users and leaders. They will plan and lead small-to-medium application projects, enhancements, upgrades, and process-improvement initiatives, managing requirements, scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, testing, and implementation activities. The position serves as a liaison among end users, operational leaders, Epic representatives, and technical and application teams, facilitating workflow decisions and ensuring solutions meet business needs, deliverables, and timelines. The analyst will assess the impact of application changes across integrated workflows, develop and execute unit, integrated, regression, and user-acceptance testing, and validate production outcomes. They will maintain application, workflow, testing, change-control, issue, and support documentation, develop knowledge articles, training materials, and procedures, and support end-user education. Additionally, the role provides guidance and quality review for less-experienced analysts and users, shares application knowledge, and promotes consistent build, testing, and documentation practices. Participation in go-lives, upgrades, downtimes, and on-call or extended-hour support is expected, along with communicating project and issue status, risks, dependencies, and escalation needs to leadership. Other related duties as assigned.
