About The Position

Munson Healthcare is seeking a Senior Clinical Informaticist to support the Central Region, with a focused emphasis on nursing workflows across the continuum of care. This role functions within the Health Informatics team, partnering with nursing, clinical, operational, and IT stakeholders to optimize the use of the electronic health record (Oracle Health) in support of safe, efficient, and high-quality patient care. Consistent with the Senior Clinical Informaticist role, this position applies clinical informatics expertise, workflow design, and system optimization to improve clinical practice, support end users, and advance organizational priorities. This is a hybrid role, with an expectation of 40-60% on-site presence (Central Region hospital or clinic settings), balanced with remote work. On-site support may vary based on project work, go-live activities, and operational or customer needs. While this role is aligned to and primarily supports the Central Region, all Clinical Informaticists contribute to system-wide initiatives and are expected to design workflows that are scalable, standardized, and applicable across Munson Healthcare. While operating within the broader Clinical Informatics role, this position will have a primary area of focus supporting nursing workflows across the continuum, including: Supporting optimization of nursing workflows across inpatient, ambulatory, procedural, and care transition settings. Partnering with nursing leadership and frontline staff to translate care delivery needs into EHR workflow design and system solutions. Advancing initiatives that improve documentation efficiency, care team communication, and workflow standardization. Ensuring alignment across workflows impacting clinical documentation, orders, care coordination, and downstream processes. Providing at-the-elbow support, rounding, and real-time issue resolution to strengthen adoption and trust. Identifying opportunities to enhance workflow integration, usability, and care team experience. Supporting workflows that are standardized and scalable across regions, ensuring alignment with system-wide design and governance.
