Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust
This is an exciting opportunity to join our team, supporting two world leading institutions that see technology and digital capability as central to achieving our ambitions for delivering excellent clinical outcomes and leading edge research. It also provides you an opportunity to work with a leading global supplier and help inform its future development within the UK.
In 2021 as part of a joint commitment GOSH and RMH made a significant investment to establish a Connect partnership to drive digital transformation by sharing Epic and several other complementary systems to enable a wide digital programme of clinical transformation, supporting new ways of working and providing richer data for direct care, research and education.
Epic is the leading global supplier of an electronic patient record, which brings significant benefits of working across a growing epic community to harness the latest functionality to improve the lives of our staff, patients and their families.
The Epic system we have deployed is shared across the two Trusts and is managed by a single 'Connect' team comprising of staff from both organisations.
The Connect team ambition is to continue to optimise the system, ensuring that new functionality and innovation continues to be delivered, to support new ways of working, as well as improving efficiency, promoting safety and patient experience, through harnessing the latest digital technologies.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will be the lead for the ongoing development of a significant part of the Epic system on behalf of both organisations. While prioritisation will be provided through each Trust's governance structure, the post holder will support the identification of potential projects that Epic functionality can support to deliver agreed strategic priorities and benefit realisation, by coordinating configuration teams' activities effectively, as well as managing system upgrades or planned downtimes.
