As a Clinical Informatics Specialist with BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services, you will lead and support clinical work flow design and change initiatives in support of the strategic roadmap of the Clinical & Systems Transformation (CST) implementation.

Reporting to the Director, Clinical Informatics, or designate, the Specialist, the subspecialty of all medical specialties transforms health care by analyzing, designing, implementing, and evaluating information and communication systems to improve patient care, enhance access to care, advance individual and population health outcomes, and strengthen the clinician-patient relationship. Clinical Informatics sits at the intersection of information science, information systems, workflow and processes, leadership and management and clinical care. It is how data is acquired, structured, stored, processed, retrieved, analyzed, presented, and communicated. The Specialist leads and promotes the integration of computer and communications technologies and clinical change initiatives that automate and/or enhance evidence based clinical practices, access to patient/client information and clinical documentation via the Electronic Health Record (EHR) in collaboration with clinical leaders, service and program managers and directors, physicians and staff.

As an integral site/service/program/organization based member of a multi-disciplinary leadership team, the Specialist works to increase the effectiveness, efficiency, accountability and sustainability of clinical initiatives that assist in the successful transitioning to a fully integrated EHR throughout PHSA programs and services.

Provide leadership to nursing and clinical staff and/or coaching to providers to incorporate advances in clinical informatics and the development of electronic health records into practice.

- Collaborate with members of the IMITS department and other organizational programs/departments and partner affiliates related to system wide practice and workflow change initiatives, practice innovation and redesign, documentation/nomenclature standards and the electronic health record. Lead and participate in steering committees and taskforces for PHSA clinical informatics and information technology initiatives.
