Qualifications:
Proven experience as a Business Systems Analyst or in a similar role.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
Familiarity with project management methodologies.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
Specific Duties:

The Business Analyst (BA) role for the state hospitals post-EHR implementation is a critical position, focusing on enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring that the technology aligns with the unique needs of each hospital. The primary responsibilities of this BA will include updating forms and databases, particularly in collaboration with Parson's developer. They will act as a product owner, playing a key role in system releases and prioritizing work to align with the specific requirements of each of the four hospitals.

The BA will be tasked with keeping all hospitals informed and up-to-date. This includes occasional visits to each hospital to understand their specific workflows and needs, especially prior to the project's go-live date. The BA will work closely with system administrators and development teams, to ensure that the EHR system is optimized for each hospital's use. This close collaboration
will help in allowing them to learn hospital workflows and adapt to different requirements efficiently.

A significant aspect of this role will be to serve as a liaison between the IT department and the clinical staff. Therefore, a preference will be given to candidates with a clinical background, as this will help in understanding the medical needs and reducing the ramp-up time. The BA will assist in prioritizing tasks and discussions, leveraging their clinical background to align IT solutions with hospital operations.

In terms of performance and team dynamics, the BA is expected to communicate with Hospital and Employer staff. There is a noted gap between current hospital needs and what the existing EHR system offers, which the BA will need to address. The role also involves working with existing staff to adapt to new technologies and processes, aligning with the employers process to resolve operational inefficiencies.

It is important to note that there is no immediate expectation for the BA to work outside of the EHR domain. The hospitals already have Clinical/SMEs, but there is a notable absence of IT BA skills, which this role aims to fill, bridging the gap between clinical needs and IT capabilities.
Skills required:

Valid driver's license
Prefer proficiency in word processing, spreadsheets, presentation software, and e-communication. Strong interpersonal skills, organizational skills, decision-making skills, and the ability to write clearly.

Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with Electronic Health Records.
Knowledge of hospital processes, procedures, and equipment, specifically State Hospitals.
Education required:

Certification in Business Analysis (e.g., CBAP) a plus.
Five years of experience in collecting, evaluating, studying, or reporting on statistical, economic, fiscal/budget, legislative, or administrative data. Education may be substituted for experience as determined relevant by the agency.
5 years of experience in Information Systems
