Job description

Job Overview

The EPR (Electronic Patient Record) change partner/lead will be responsible for playing a key role in the implementation of the new EPR across the three acute trusts (GWH, SFT and RUH). The role will provide specialist support to clinical and corporate Groups enabling them to prepare for the EPR implementation and the change that this will bring to working practices.

We are seeking individuals with an NHS background with experience in leading and engaging teams through change and who have operational insight and change management skills that will enable the organisation to embrace the change culturally.

The successful candidate will work with clinical and corporate groups ensuring that through planned, targeted engagement colleagues will be equipped to maximise the functionality that an EPR will deliver.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will work with the local workstreams and clinical teams to ensure alignment of priorities to achieve the overall programme plan and support staff to develop and improve the new EPR for all clinical services across the Trust. Improving patient safety, quality of care and patient experience is an explicit priority rather than an assumption and needs to underpin all elements of the implementation and beyond.

The postholder will be part of a Senior Change Team who will provide mentorship and coaching to all members of the Implementation Programme and will also be responsible for identifying and planning programmes of change that will enable the delivery of clearly defined and quantifiable cash releasing, non-cash releasing and social benefits which are set against a clearly defined set of measurable KPIs owned by the relevant team.
