About The Position

Munson Healthcare is seeking a Senior Clinical Informaticist with a focused emphasis on perioperative and procedural workflows across the surgical continuum of care. This role functions within the Health Informatics team, partnering with surgeons, anesthesiologists, perioperative nurses, procedural departments, operational leaders, and Information Systems 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 across surgical and procedural settings. This is a hybrid role, with an expectation of approximately 40–60% on-site presence within surgical and procedural environments, balanced with remote work. On-site support may vary based on project work, workflow optimization efforts, training activities, go-live support, and operational needs. While aligned to and primarily supporting perioperative services, this role contributes to system-wide initiatives and is expected to design workflows that are scalable and consistent across all Munson Healthcare settings.
