We continue to put digital technology at the heart of our operational delivery and our service transformation ambition. We are at an exciting phase in our digital transformation journey with a programme of significant upgrades to our enabling infrastructure - the bedrock upon which we will introduce new models of care that take information to the bedside with mobile functionality, apps and next generation access to our core Oracle Electronic Patient Record (Cerner EPR). In tandem with the addition of new, class leading theatres at St Luke's and for Maternity we are extending the functionality of our EPR.



Do you want to be part of this exciting and transformational journey?



Can you engage and motivate others to participate and take ownership of new developments and initiatives?



Do you enjoy working on your own and with colleagues to drive and embed change improvements that make a difference?



Are you able to juggle multiple tasks and analyse and present information for review?



We are embarking on a new and exciting programme to improve the use of digital systems and IT infrastructure. The project includes the implementation of new systems, the expansion and adoption of existing systems, and changing working processes to improve workflow and integration of systems.



As part of the Clinical Information Systems Change Team, the postholder will work closely with clinical and operational colleagues to understand current working practices within the clinical areas, understand what existing digital systems are used for and by who.



The role will help to understand how the new digital systems or processes will impact a department and engage with operational colleagues so they are fully aware of the impact.



Working with operational colleagues, the postholder will help design new processes and should be able to communicate any new or changed processes to colleagues at all levels across the Trust. The postholder will help to achieve and monitor the project outcomes and benefits.



The post holder will use a range of engagement techniques and change methodologies to support, plan, and make change happen.



If this sounds like you then we'd love you to contact us as we are looking for someone with your skills to join the Clinical Informatics Change Team. In return we can offer you the opportunity to work with a diverse team of co-professionals committed to working together in supporting our clinical services.

Follow best practice project methodology to ensure delivery within the constraints of budget resources and project lead times.



Plan and hold workshops or other interactive events involving staff groups to engage and communicate with the relevant staff.



Create relevant system process documentation e.g. process mapping software and lead process mapping exercises to identify current and future processes.



Identify gaps in the current processes and analyse findings to understand where improvements could be made to improve the workflow.



Engage and collaborate with colleagues to redesign processes to ensure these are as streamlined and effective as possible.



Escalate emerging concerns, risks and issues to ensure these are managed in line with the project governance and concerns can be addressed quickly.



Create and update implementation plans routinely, including adequate testing of processes and user-support arrangements.



Ensure regular contact and feedback with operational leads and system owners.



Implement change using best-practice change management methodologies, and adjust strategies and plans as required.



Measure benefits against the plan and report findings to programme management - recommending corrective action where appropriate.
