Huron • Chicago, IL

About The Position

Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve. We help healthcare organizations build innovation capabilities and accelerate key growth initiatives, enabling organizations to own the future, instead of being disrupted by it. Together, we empower clients to create sustainable growth, optimize internal processes and deliver better consumer outcomes. Health systems, hospitals and medical clinics are under immense pressure to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the cost of providing patient care. Investing in new partnerships, clinical services and technology is not enough to create meaningful and substantive change. To succeed long-term, healthcare organizations must empower leaders, clinicians, employees, affiliates and communities to build cultures that foster innovation to achieve the best outcomes for patients. Joining the Huron team means you’ll help our clients evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing healthcare environment and optimize existing business operations, improve clinical outcomes, create a more consumer-centric healthcare experience, and drive physician, patient and employee engagement across the enterprise. Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future. As the Clinical Informaticist, you will be the bridge between bedside nursing practice and information technology within a large-scale Oracle Health (Cerner) Millennium EHR implementation. You will leverage your deep clinical experience to analyze, design, and optimize workflows, ensuring the EHR is safe, effective, and intuitive for nurses and the interdisciplinary care team. Your primary objective is to reduce cognitive burden, improve patient safety, and act as a tireless advocate for the needs of your fellow clinicians. To excel in this position, you must be a licensed Registered Nurse (RN) with a passion for technology and process improvement. You are a problem-solver who translates the complex realities of patient care into functional system requirements. You will spend your time on the floor observing workflows, facilitating design sessions with your clinical peers, and then rigorously testing the system to ensure it works as intended. You are a key player in training and provide critical ""at-the-elbow"" support during go-live events. You are the voice of the nurse in the room, ensuring that technology serves the clinician, not the other way around.
