Key Responsibilities

Requirements Elicitation & Analysis

• Translate complex stakeholder needs, clinical workflows, operational bottlenecks, and strategic objectives into clear, testable, and solution-neutral functional specifications.

• Distinguish underlying business and clinical objectives from legacy system limitations, historical workarounds, or technology-specific assumptions.

• Evaluate cross-program needs to identify shared baseline requirements, legitimate program-specific exceptions, technical dependencies, and standardization opportunities.

• Author comprehensive business analysis artifacts, including detailed process maps, business rules, use cases, user stories, traceability matrices, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

• Prepare executive-level briefing summaries, requirements status reports, and analytical risk assessments for project leadership and steering committees.

Stakeholder Facilitation & Alignment

• Facilitate structured review and consensus sessions with diverse stakeholders—including clinical personnel, epidemiologists, program administrators, informatics specialists, and IT teams—to validate requirements clarity, priority, and completeness.

• Drive constructive problem-solving to resolve conflicting requirements and document formal architectural decisions, policy alignments, and approved exceptions.

Testing, Validation & Implementation Support

• Partner with technical teams and clinical end-users to validate configured EHR capabilities against approved business and functional requirements.

• Develop realistic end-to-end test scenarios, author test scripts, and lead structured User Acceptance Testing (UAT) sessions.

• Log, track, and prioritize system defects and configuration discrepancies; verify readiness prior to production releases.

Project Coordination & Governance

• Collaborate closely with the Project Manager to sequence analysis milestones, stakeholder workshops, review cadences, and deliverable handoffs.

• Actively communicate requirement statuses, dependencies, emerging risks, and escalation items within established project governance frameworks.
