This role manages a team of application analysts/support specialists, oversees key projects and enhancements, and serves as the primary point of coordination with vendors and internal stakeholders. The ideal candidate brings strong healthcare application experience—preferably with NextGen—along with proven leadership, operational discipline, and a calm, service-oriented approach in a fast-paced clinical environment.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience managing multiple concurrent projects and priorities.

• Excellent communication skills—able to translate between clinical users, leadership, and technical teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Healthcare Informatics, Business, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of progressively responsible experience supporting healthcare applications (EMR/PM and related systems).
• 2+ years of people management experience with demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and retain teams.

Nice To Haves

• NextGen experience strongly preferred; experience with other EMR/PM platforms (e.g., Epic, Cerner/Oracle Health, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Greenway, Meditech, Allscripts/Veradigm, etc.) is acceptable.
• Experience supporting interfaces (HL7), e-prescribing, labs/imaging integrations, and patient portal functionality.
• Familiarity with ITSM tools and practices (ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, Zendesk) and change management processes.
• Experience with report writers/BI tools (e.g., SQL, SSRS, Power BI, Crystal Reports) and operational dashboards.
• Experience in specialty physician practice environments (multi-site, high-volume scheduling, procedure-based workflows).

Responsibilities

• Team Leadership & Service Operations Manage, coach, and develop an applications support team; establish clear expectations, coverage models, and escalation paths.
• Drive incident and request management processes (triage, prioritization, root cause analysis, and follow-through) with measurable service levels.
• Create and maintain documentation, policies & procedures, knowledge articles, runbooks, and onboarding/training materials.
• Coordinate after-hours/on-call support as needed to ensure clinical continuity.
• Application Support & Optimization Provide oversight for production support of EMR/PM and related applications (scheduling, registration, billing, interfaces, reporting, patient portals, eRx, etc.).
• Partner with clinical and revenue cycle leaders to identify workflow improvements and translate them into system enhancements.
• Manage application configuration changes, upgrades, and release activities with appropriate testing and change control.
• Ensure data integrity, role-based access, and alignment with security and compliance requirements (HIPAA and organizational policies).
• Project & Portfolio Management Lead application projects from intake through delivery: requirements, scope, timeline, risks, communications, testing, training, and go-live support.
• Coordinate cross-functional efforts among IT, clinical staff, front office, billing, and external partners.
• Maintain a prioritized enhancement backlog and roadmap; report progress and outcomes to leadership.
• Vendor & Stakeholder Management Own vendor relationships for supported applications: contracts coordination, performance management, support tickets, upgrade planning, and service reviews.
• Act as a trusted advisor to practice leadership, balancing clinical needs, operational realities, and technical constraints.
• Facilitate stakeholder governance (regular huddles, steering updates, and post-implementation reviews).
• Reporting & Analytics Enablement Oversee standard reporting and dashboard needs; partner with analytics/BI resources as needed.
