- Lead IT projects or serve as project lead for system implementations or enhancements
- Manage budgets, timelines, and resource allocation
- Ensure compliance with County, State, and healthcare regulations

- Systems analysis and integration
- Reporting and data analysis
- Infrastructure concepts (servers, networks, security)
- Change management and documentation
Communication & Stakeholder Engagement
- Interface with executives, department leadership, clinicians, business users, and vendors
