Clinical Informaticist

Clinical Informaticist

Edera L3C is a purpose-driven healthcare consultancy that addresses today's challenges and builds tomorrow's solutions by connecting some of the brightest minds in healthcare. Our multidisciplinary teams-spanning management, technology, and creative services-collaborate closely with industry experts to deliver transformational solutions that bridge public and private sector best practices. As an L3C (low-profit limited liability company), Edera places purpose before profit. We reinvest surplus earnings beyond sustainability goals into initiatives that benefit communities and clients, advancing our mission to create lasting, socially beneficial change across healthcare systems.

We are currently seeking a highly skilled, client-facing Clinical Informaticist with demonstrated expertise in Oracle Health (Cerner) electronic health record (EHR) implementations to join our fast-paced and mission-driven team. This individual will serve as a strategic advisor to our clients and their end users, delivering hands-on, solution-based informatics support across the entire implementation lifecycle. The ideal candidate will possess exceptional verbal and written communication skills, an expert-level understanding of the Cerner model, and the proven ability to assess, recommend, and clearly articulate both system and workflow changes that drive meaningful results.

This role is ideal for an informaticist with a strong track record of success across both public and private sector deployments, especially those involving complex enterprise environments such as the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Key responsibilities include supporting end-user training, providing at-the-elbow go-live assistance, developing and validating test scripts, facilitating workflow design, and guiding data-driven decisions to optimize system performance.

Success will be measured by the informaticist's ability to reduce system backlog, resolve aged tickets, meet or exceed implementation milestones, and advance progress in alignment with aggressive project schedules. This individual will be expected to identify barriers, recommend feasible and scalable solutions, and help eliminate delays-ensuring smooth transitions and high adoption rates among users.

While Cerner build experience is highly preferred, a strong foundational knowledge of configuration principles is required to make informed design decisions and collaborate effectively with build teams. Candidates must demonstrate expertise in at least two Cerner solution areas and be capable of integrating that knowledge into both system configuration and workflow alignment. A well-established professional reputation for collaboration with EHR vendors and cross-functional teams is essential.

Above all, the Clinical Informaticist must be a highly dependable, adaptable, and outcome-driven team member-able to operate across multiple workstreams, foster stakeholder trust, and deliver high-impact support that benefits both our clients and the populations they serve.
