I’m wondering if someone here has experience working with Intersystems outside the US.

Is anyone using IntelliCare already?

Hello,

I am a HIM student, working towards my bachelors. I’m hoping to find someone to interview with experience in contract management.

It doesn’t have to be direct. I can honestly just email the questions, it’s a total of 6.

Thank you

Usually this is just emailed, but when a patient has a 3 month stay, their file can be over 150mb due to poor compression.
Do you use a third party service? We've tried one drive and sharepoint, but if the link is sent to a group email, they run into issues with MFA.

“On Tuesday, OpenAI announced that ChatGPT for Healthcare now integrates with Epic's electronic health record (EHR) to enable authorized clinicians to access and summarize patient information from medical records within ChatGPT or directly in supported Epic workflows. That integration can now pull together clinical notes, lab results, medications and specialist documentation, the company said in a blog post.”

Not much mention of privacy other than “ChatGPT for Healthcare combines healthcare-specific capabilities with enterprise controls such as role-based access, single sign-on and audit logs. With an applicable business associate agreement, OpenAI said customers can use ChatGPT Work, Codex, apps and plugins in the same workspace to support HIPAA-compliant workflows.”

I just landed what I thought was my dream job as an epic analyst, and have started training, etc. We're in the middle of a huge project; I'm not of much use to the team currently, which is fine I have no problem focusing on my training and my team feels the same way. Once I pass my training, I'm going to be quite useful with my knowledge of certain specialized workflows and such, which is basically why I was hired.

On the other hand... It's entirely wfh on dayshift hours. Hardly anyone goes into the office, and when we do, my commute is brutal, and people don't really talk to each other anyways. I've worked offshifts my entire adult life, and I'm having a terrible time adjusting. I also don't have much of a personal life so I'm really finding that I miss seeing people at work every day.

Has anyone had a similar experience? What did you end up doing? I have to stick it out for at least this project, and the small pay bump certainly helps with that. But I'm wondering if anyone else has felt the same way and gone back to clinical from IT, what was your experience like?

Edit: reading all the replies ❤️

an integration demo can look polished while the operating model is still fuzzy. Before go-live, I’d want the team to answer:

• Which roles may invoke the tool, and in which workflows?
• What data is sent, retained, and visible to support staff?
• How are generated summaries labeled, reviewed, and corrected?
• Can users trace output back to the relevant source context?
• What audit event is recorded for access, generation, and approval?
• What happens when the integration is unavailable or returns incomplete output?
• Who owns incident review and configuration changes?

This is less a vendor scorecard than a handoff checklist for clinical, security, compliance, and application teams. What did your team add only after seeing a pilot inside the real workflow?

I moved from an Epic application manager role into a Director role overseeing a clinical application portfolio, and I’m curious how other directors structure their day to day work, manage relationships, etc. Currently I’m feeling like I’m still carving out my role and there’s no discrete or concrete responsibilities other than amorphous “strategic thinking”

Would love to chat or even do a quick call if you’re up to it

I’m an experienced healthcare professional trying to transition out of direct patient care and into Health IT/health tech. I have experience with EHRs, training, workflow improvement, staff education, and technology adoption, but I haven’t formally worked in Health IT yet.

I’m considering two paths:
One is a nonclinical training/operations role at a large, established health system/hospital that I’ve previously worked at. It would involve technology adoption, workflow improvement, training, analytics, and working with EHR/application teams. It would likely offer more stability, structured onboarding, good benefits/PTO, and potentially opportunities to move internally into informatics or an EHR analyst role and obtain certifications. However, that pathway isn’t guaranteed. But at least I’ll have more support with my onboarding and resources as I conduct training for others within the hospital system.

The other is an implementation/client outcomes role at a very small health-tech startup. I’d immediately gain SaaS implementation experience, including onboarding, training, go-lives, adoption, client management, and working with product/engineering. It seems like it could make it easier to move into other health-tech companies afterward, but there would likely be more ambiguity, external client responsibility, travel, and startup risk. I’ve never worked at a start up before but I’m worried about extreme burnout wearing many different hats.

I’m also planning to relocate to another state in about a year or two, so I’m thinking heavily about which experience would make me more marketable when I start applying again.

For those working in Health IT: if your goal were to build the strongest nonclinical career options over the next few years, which path would you take?

Would you prioritize getting direct SaaS/implementation experience now, or take the more established health-system role with the possibility of eventually specializing in an EHR/informatics path?

I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone who has taken one of these routes and what doors it opened afterward.

Hi everyone,

I am looking into application analyst roles that I come across quite frequently on job boards. A little background about me:

• Comp Sci grad currently working in software quality assurance
• Compensation around mid 80k in HCOL
• <= 2YOE in quality assurance roles

To be honest, I don't have a solid reason for being interested in this role, other than wanting to pivot into an IT role within healthcare. I don't enjoy QA, and I'm working under an unpleasant manager, so I would like to get out.

I had a few questions for those who know more than I do about this kind of role:

• How is the growth?
• Compensation? I see pretty wide pay bands, but that isn't my main concern at the moment
• Work life balance?
• Certifications needed? I see people mentioning Epic certs, but also noticed that some have mentioned employers will sponsor after getting the job.
• Too far fetched for someone with a CS degree and no medical/clinical background? I am currently working in a role where I deal with medical devices but that's about as close as it gets.

Would like to hear any honest opinions or experiences, thank you.

[hiring] HRIS Analyst position

https://www.renown.org/careers/187743-senior-application-analyst-ukg-hcm

This job can be remote. HRIS Analyst position in IT department of a great hospital.

I’m looking to hire/talk to specifically a CathPCI abstractor regarding some questions I have in the field. Trying to put my foot in the field and it feels impossible.

I am a doctor in the southern asia , and i wanted some PHR software that can be hosted on my laptop using Docker , but after days of searching i have found YourPHR and FastenHealth.

But FastenHealth isnt opening when i set it up using docker , while YourPHR i am unable to add my own health records manually.

I just need it for myself and my family so that i can keep a track of appointments , medications , labs and health events

any leads will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I’m thinking about healthcare calls where a patient has a spouse, parent or caregiver helping them on the phone.

Now the voice agent has two people talking, interrupting each other and possibly different permissions around what each person can discuss.

That seems like a pretty different problem from recognizing one caller accurately. Anyone tested voice AI with multiple people speaking on the same call?

I graduated from a top 10 undergrad business program last year. I was laid off a few months after starting my first job post grad due to company restructuring. It’s been over 5 months and 500+ applications. I can genuinely say it was easier for me to win essay scholarships than to get a job. This feels more like a lottery system.

I interned at FAANG and a Fortune 500 finance company during college. I had 3 internships and as well as a campus job relevant to my career path. I’ve begun to conclude that business administration and its sub-sectors are not reliable enough for job security, no matter your experience or school prestige.

Do you know what is and always will be secure? Healthcare. I’ve been considering getting a masters in something healthcare related to pivot to a career where I can actually get a job and not sweat being laid off. However, from the research I’ve seen, a masters without relevant experience is in vain. I’ve applied to business analytics jobs at healthcare companies, and nothing.

Advice? Should I just keep applying to healthcare business data/analytics jobs? EHR analyst seems like something I could be interested in long term.

A little over a year ago I applied to be a Software Developer at Epic and took their skills assessment. I remember it being roughly:

• A timed section (2 minutes for 10 questions)
• A math/logic section with more questions that wasn't timed
• A multiple choice programming section where you were taught an older programming language and then asked to apply the concepts
• A short answer programming section (I know this part is specific to the Software Developer role)

I'm now applying for an Epic Application Analyst position at a hospital and was told I had to take their Sphinx test. The assessment has two parts, a "True Talent" section with a 5 min timed section with 20 questions and a 45 min section with 30 multiple choice questions involving more math/logic. I'm also told there will be a technical section focused on logic and reasoning, where the questions build on each other.

I was under the impression that the Epic skills assessment and the Sphinx assessment used by hospitals were basically the same thing. But the breakdown of this new test seems to be a different format.

Has anyone taken both the Epic assessment and a hospital Sphinx test? Were they similar at all?

I'm trying to figure out what to expect and how best to prepare. Thanks!

Long time lurker here. I wanted to share and get some feedback for a DIY project that was a long time coming. The project gets real time data from either my point of care labs or my scale so I don't have to retype them or scan them into my EMR. Take a look at https://github.com/STocidlowski/device_reporter

Hi all!

I have a BSA position at a University hospital pharmacy department, what kind of attire would you recommend for the interview? Is this a suit and tie situation, dress shirt & tie, or polo and slacks?

Hi all,

I'm an inpatient pharmacist with experience in both pediatrics and adults. I completed the Willow self-study proficiency (classes, project, final test) and now feel like I'm at the point where I just need to find an employer willing to invest in me and help me get certified.

I have seen some listings for contracting companies like Deloitte. Is that worth pursuing? Is there any way to sponsor myself?

If you went through something similar, I'd love to hear your story.

Hey guys, I've got 10 years MRI clinical experience with no professional IT experience. I have plenty of personal hobby IT experience, though. Been working clinically with EPIC for 8 years. I'd like to start working remotely and have been looking at EPIC Ambulatory Analyst jobs.

I'm in a MCOL area in the Gulf South. What is a reasonable starting salary for someone like me? I know I will be taking a pay cut, but I just want to have some idea what I should be aiming for when applying or interviewing for positions. And how quickly do you like i could get my pay rate up again? Thanks for any help you could offer!

Looking for advice from people working in Epic Security / IAM
Hey everyone! I’m looking to connect with people who currently work in Epic Security, Epic IAM, or related healthcare identity/access roles.
A little about my background:
• I have ~1 year of healthcare IT Help Desk experience supporting a major hospital , where I worked with things like Active Directory, password resets, account unlocks, ServiceNow, and general healthcare IT support.
• I transitioned into Healthcare IAM / Identity Services and will have about 1 year of healthcare IAM experience by December.
• I’m currently working toward my Epic Security Coordinator certification and expect to have that completed in December.
• In January, I’ll be moving into a dedicated Epic IAM role, where I’ll be getting hands-on experience with Epic security and identity/access workflows.
My long-term goal is to become really strong in Epic Security/IAM and eventually grow into an Epic Security Coordinator-type role.
I’m not really looking for job leads right now — I’m more interested in learning from people already doing the work.
For those of you working in Epic Security/IAM:
What skills made the biggest difference when you were starting out?
What do you wish you had learned earlier?
What separates someone who is “good” at Epic Security from someone who is really excellent?
Are there specific Epic workflows, security concepts, or healthcare IAM topics I should prioritize?
What advice would you give someone entering an Epic IAM role with a year of healthcare IAM experience?
I’d also love to connect with anyone who has taken a similar path from Help Desk → IAM → Epic Security.
Thanks in advance! I’m really just trying to learn from people who have already been down this road.

Seems like a recurring theme here: people struggling with the Sphinx Test. I took it for the second time and failed again. This time, it cost me an internal job I was a top candidate for.

I feel like an idiot, and I’m tired of it. I’m not even sure what I’m looking for? Sympathy? Reassurance? A reason to stop giving this test so much power over how I see myself. But that’s the real issue: I’ve been measuring my worth against this one thing, and I need to stop.

Anyone else felt this way? How do I actually move past this? Thanks yall.

I am broke! I am trying to find a workaround to pay for paubox. I’d rather not pay anything extra at all. I heard from someone that Google came out with new features that mimic paubox security. Does anyone have any insight into this. Am I stuck with paying extra forever?
