Job description

Do you want to join an organization that invests in you? At HCA Healthcare, you come first. HCA Healthcare has committed up to 300 million in programs to support our incredible team members over the course of three years.

Job Summary and Qualifications

Works with the support and direction of the business staff to develop an understanding of business needs which require IT solutions for a specified business area. Works with other key project team members to define requirements, manage requirements, design the functional solution, identify and escalation project issues, and ensure the IT solution meets the business need.

This position requires a background and operational experience with healthcare business practices and with healthcare IT revenue cycle systems. Experience with healthcare or within the Life Sciences industry a plus.

The Business Analyst (BA) for the Development and Integrated Apps teams (or TriStar ITG more broadly) will serve as the essential translation and alignment engine for Application Services. By sitting at the intersection of clinical operations, custom development, and vendor-integrated applications, this role transforms operational challenges into executable technical strategy. Rather than acting as a simple scribe, the BA functions as a "Clinical and Business Interface Lead" who ensures that every project is clearly defined, strategically justified, and appropriately routed. This specialized focus allows leadership to step away from the daily friction of chasing requirement clarity and managing inbound noise, shifting the burden of "rounding" and discovery onto a dedicated resource who can synthesize patterns across multiple facilities. By owning deep-dive discovery, project hygiene in Service Central, and the creation of executive-ready justifications, this role provides leadership leverage, freeing managers to focus on core technical delivery and ensuring that we are aligned with strategic goals of Corp and Division leadership. Clinical experience is highly desired.

Duties Include But Are Not Limited To:

• Creates a joint vision for IT solutions by maintaining strong relationships with business unit and Solution Leader and assists in preparing and presenting the value proposition or business case.

• Builds network of relationships to draw upon for business expertise that may be required in key areas.
• Elicits and documents business, user, functional and non-functional requirements. Creates deliverables as part of the overall Collaborative Services team
• Develops maps and flowcharts of business processes (current and future state)
• Identifies impact to other solutions or projects, and works with other BAs and stakeholders to identify options and recommendations.
• Ability to multi-task, given various assignments, assisting management in prioritization of tasks
• Take ownership of responsibilities, working individually or with teams to accomplish goals
• Works with all departments throughout product life cycle to ensure project dates are met and ensures timely completion of BA deliverables.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
• Practice and adhere to the “Code of Conduct” philosophy and “Mission and Value Statement”.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• One to three years of experience on increasingly challenging projects in business, or systems analysis or systems development role
• Understanding of the BA role with ability to educate others about the BA roles and responsibilities
• Solid collaboration, facilitation, and negotiation skills
• Detailed oriented and analytical with good organization skills
• Must have the ability to prioritize multiple activities and tasks simultaneously and adapt to a rapidly changing environment
• Strong problem and issue resolution experience
• Possess good written and verbal communication skills and be able to communicate effectively with individuals at various levels within the organization
• Highly motivated and be able to work independently with little supervision

• Bachelor’s degree preferred
• Microsoft Office (including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), and Microsoft Visio
