Qualis Health is applying for Federal funding to provide Idaho and Washington healthcare organizations with technical assistance related to the selection, implementation, and use of electronic health records (EHRs).  To learn more about the Health Information Technology Extension Program, visit http://www.qualishealth.org/REC/index.cfm

There will be multiple openings in or near Seattle and Spokane, WA as well as Boise, ID.  Please indicate your preference in your submission. 

What you’ll do:

You’ll facilitate the selection, implementation, and meaningful use of electronic health records (EHR) within an assigned client base of health care providers.  You’ll assess clients’ workflows and protocols and then recommend “best practice” process improvement interventions and technical solutions.  You’ll also monitor and report on the progress of assigned tasks.

What you bring:

You have at least three years of project management experience in health care (including at least two years of experience with the adoption and use of EHR) plus a Bachelor’s degree in a related field.  You also demonstrate extensive knowledge of healthcare information systems.  A background in primary care, external consulting, and/or demonstrated proficiency with at least one EHR application is strongly preferred.

There is no guarantee that Qualis Health will become the local Regional Extension Center (REC), or that a REC will be funded in our region at all.  To express your interest in this opportunity, email your resume and/or cover letter to jobs@qualishealth.org using “Regional Extension Center” as your subject line.  Please note that we expect to contact applicants by no sooner than December, 2009.
