Job overview

This role is in the Shared EPR Team, part of The Health Informatics Service hosted by CHFT. This job is also being advertised at BTHFT and AFT.

The analyst role is an opportunity to join an established team and progress a career in healthcare systems development and change management.

There has never been a better time to join us as we embark on the next exciting phase of digital development with the introduction of a new electronic patient record (EPR). For the Trust, our EPR is much more than a digital version of written notes. It will bring about a transformation to the way we provide care to patients and we’re looking for energetic, forward-thinkers to join the team.

The Trust is already acknowledged as a pioneer in the delivery of digital healthcare, with its award-winning digital care hub delivering care round-the-clock care homes, prisons and people in their own homes.

Main duties of the job

As an EPR Analyst you will support the configuration of the EPR solution, supporting the creation of design, testing, delivery and adoption, ensuring it meets the needs of the workstream services. You will have experience of managing comprehensive patient systems or have a background in health care and an understanding of the NHS with an interest in applying your skill for digital transformation. You work with colleagues to ensure new EPR solution is configured and managed in a consistent and safe manner, taking into account the clinical safety dimension of the systems requirements.

You will have excellent interpersonal and communications skills and be able to organise and prioritise own work and be customer focused at all times.

As part of the Trust’s commitment to flexible working there will be some opportunity to work from home and in the office on a rota basis.  This will be reviewed regularly in line with service requirements.

To be successful you will need to have working knowledge of hospital and Clinical IT systems, knowledge of gathering requirements and analysis and ability to work under pressure and produce high quality work to tight deadlines.

We want to attract staff who embrace our values of compassion, a commitment to quality of care and working together for patients: we want to make these part of our DNA.
