Job Description
This is a remote position.
Position Summary :
This request is issued from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Office of Administration (OA) / Office of Information Technology (OIT). The position will have a reporting relationship to the Health and Human Service (HHS) Delivery Center within the OA / OIT and the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) Bureau of Community Health Systems (BCHS). State Health Centers (SHCs) currently use a paper-based charting system which limits data quality and reporting capabilities, is labor-intensive and prone to errors, limits accessibility to records to a physical location, and has a higher risk of loss or damage to paper records. Transitioning to an Electronic Health Record (EHR) will increase efficiency and streamline tasks, improve data quality and reporting, increase accessibility to records, enhance security of records, allow the potential for interoperability with other systems such as PIERS, NEDSS, and other EHRs, and improve the overall patient experience. In order for the SHCs to modernize and / or expand services in the future, SHCs need to transition from a paper-based process to an electronic system. This is large scale and complex effort that requires thorough upfront planning with dedicated funding and staffing resources to be successful.
The primary objective of this engagement is to serve as a Business Analyst for the BCHS Electronic Health Records (EHR) project. Responsibilities of this position will include gathering business requirements, assessing products and procurement options, gathering costs estimates for budgeting purposes, and helping to build a proposal to seek funding for an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) / EHR procurement and implementation. The Business Analyst is a senior level resource with specialized knowledge and experience in EHR and / or EMR, health informatics, and health IT, in requirements analysis and documentation, test case planning and testing, coordinating communications and project tasks, while acting as liaison between customer program areas and IT teams. This position will work with BCHS SMEs, application developers, and DBAs to achieve project objectives - delivery dates, cost objectives, quality objectives, and program area customer satisfaction objectives.
