Must demonstrate a mastery of:

  1. Medical knowledge by being a clinician independently licensed in a State, Territory, or the District of Columbia.
  2. The health care environment, including how business processes influence health care delivery and the flow of data among the major domains of the health care system.
  3. How information systems and processes enhance or compromise the decision making and actions of health care team members.
  4. Re-engineering health care processes.
  5. Fundamental information system concepts, including the life cycle of information systems, the constantly evolving capabilities of information technology and health care, and the technical and non-technical issues surrounding system implementation.
  6. How clinical information systems impact users and patients, how to support users and how to promote clinical adoption of systems.
  7. Leading organizational change, fostering collaboration, communicating effectively, and managing large scale projects related to clinical information systems.

Patient Care Responsibilities:

  • The applicant will practice their clinical specialty at FxHCC in a part-time capacity of no less than 25% of their full-time equivalent.
