FULL DESCRIPTION:
The selected candidate will be responsible for:
Serve as the ED's dedicated, embedded point of contact for all Paragon EMR issues and requests
Listen to physicians, APPs, and nursing staff to understand workflow pain points and translate them into actionable system fixes or workarounds
Identify gaps in current system configuration and develop interim solutions while longer-term fixes are implemented
Document workarounds, configurations, and processes clearly so nothing lives only in your head
Act as the direct line between the ED and the Paragon implementation team, bypassing the general hospital IT queue when ED-specific issues arise
Communicate clearly with Paragon representatives about ED workflow needs, escalating and tracking issues through to resolution
Participate in implementation and optimization conversations, ensuring the ED's needs are represented and prioritized
Stay current on Paragon updates, new functionality, and best practices relevant to emergency department workflows
Train ED clinical and administrative staff on system features, updates, and workarounds as they roll out
Create simple, practical reference materials that providers can use in a fast-moving environment
Support new provider onboarding from a systems perspective
Serve as a resource for staff who are still building confidence in the new system
Identify and prioritize opportunities to improve how Paragon is configured for ED-specific workflows, including documentation, order sets, diagnosis capture, and patient flow
Collaborate with the ED Director, Director of ED Administration, and clinical leadership to align system capabilities with operational goals
Track recurring issues and advocate for permanent solutions rather than letting workarounds become permanent fixtures
The selected candidate will also possess:
Hands-on experience with Paragon (Meditech Expanse/Paragon) strongly preferred; candidates with deep experience in comparable hospital EMR platforms will be considered
Background in hospital or ED-specific workflows, either from an IT/informatics role or from clinical experience combined with systems work
Strong communicator who can translate between clinical staff and technical teams without losing either audience
Self-directed and comfortable operating without a lot of structure or hand-holding, especially in a dynamic, recently-implemented environment
Someone who sees a broken workflow and wants to fix it, not just log it
Patient with clinical staff who are learning a new system while running a busy department
Experience creating training materials or delivering end-user training is a plus
Salary Range: $75k to $80k/year
