About The Position

Adventist HealthCare seeks to hire an experienced Epic Clinical Information System Analyst III for our Epic Program department who will embrace our mission to extend God’s care through the ministry of physical, mental, and spiritual healing. As an Epic Clinical Information System Analyst III, you will lead advanced analysis and enterprise workflow design; architect, configure, build, test, validate, optimize, and maintain Epic functionality and integrated solutions across application and operational boundaries. You will lead the resolution of high-impact, ambiguous, or cross-application incidents and problems, directing root-cause analysis, coordinating technical and operational responders, developing durable corrective actions, and communicating through closure. You will plan and lead large or highly complex application projects, upgrades, implementations, and optimization initiatives, establishing approach, scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, testing strategy, implementation readiness, and outcome measures. You will serve as a senior liaison and subject matter expert for operational leaders, governance bodies, Epic representatives, end users, vendors, and technical and application teams, facilitating decisions and escalating issues through defined governance channels. You will establish and reinforce standards for application design, build, integrated testing, change control, documentation, release readiness, data validation, and production support, performing quality review of complex work. You will mentor and develop analysts, coordinate shared work, provide technical direction, and lead knowledge transfer, training, and support-readiness activities without requiring formal supervisory authority. You will evaluate emerging capabilities, regulatory and patient-safety requirements, operational performance, and user feedback to recommend enterprise improvements and sustainable Epic solutions. You will provide leadership with concise status, risk, dependency, budget or resource, and milestone reporting; participate in go-lives, upgrades, downtimes, and major-event support outside normal business hours.
