Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in clinical/health informatics, nursing, medicine, public health, biomedical informatics, health administration, or a related field; advanced education may substitute for some experience.
• 12+ years in clinical informatics, health informatics, clinical operations, digital health, or healthcare workflow transformation.
• Demonstrated leadership analyzing clinical workflows and translating among clinicians, operational leaders, and technical teams.
• Strong knowledge of clinical usability, human oversight, safety, workload, health data, and implementation constraints. Recommended certification: CPHIMS, AHIC, relevant clinical informatics credential, or active professional clinical license where applicable.
• Ability to satisfy VA personnel vetting and requirements for sensitive health information, privacy, security, and records handling.
• Demonstrated ability to translate between clinical operations and technical delivery, including converting workflow, safety, and usability concerns into clear requirements and decision criteria.
• Experience facilitating senior clinicians, operational leaders, analysts, and technical teams through ambiguous workflow or implementation decisions where perspectives may differ.
• Strong understanding of health information privacy, clinical data stewardship, human factors, and the limits of technology-enabled decision support in regulated care environments.
• Senior-level experience in complex healthcare delivery environments with responsibility for clinical informatics, operational improvement, digital health, quality, or technology-enabled workflow change.
• Ability to review technical concepts, data products, or AI-enabled capabilities at a level sufficient to identify clinical assumptions, data-context limitations, and workflow implications before deployment.

Responsibilities

• Validate clinical problem statements, users, care settings, decision points, workflow burden, and intended outcomes.
• Assess clinical fit, usability, human oversight, safety, workload, and operational feasibility of proposed solutions.
• Define clinically meaningful baselines, measures, data needs, and interpretation guidance with data and evaluation teams.
• Guide pilot design under representative workflow conditions and identify adoption barriers or unintended effects.
• Bridge clinicians, clinical operations, HCD, data, architecture, engineering, security, and program leadership.
• Coach clinical workflow staff and coordinate specialty SMEs when deeper domain expertise is required.
• Escalate material clinical workflow, safety, or human‑oversight concerns and document the basis for action.
• Develop reusable clinical workflow and measurement practices for future VA initiatives.
• Lead structured clinical discovery and future‑state workflow design, ensuring clinical users, decision points, information needs, handoffs, exceptions, and safety considerations are explicitly represented.
• Review proposed capabilities for human‑factors, clinical usability, automation bias, escalation, override, and human‑oversight considerations and identify conditions that require additional clinical review.
• Define clinically meaningful baseline and outcome measures with data and evaluation staff, including clear interpretation of access, timeliness, burden, quality, utilization, safety, and workflow effects.
• Guide pilot design and implementation observation in representative clinical settings, using findings to identify unintended consequences, adoption barriers, workflow disruption, or additional training and support needs.
• Provide direction, peer review, and coaching to clinical workflow analysts and coordinate specialty clinical SMEs when a use case requires domain‑specific expertise beyond the core team.
• Maintain traceability from clinical problem statements and workflow findings through requirements, measures, pilot observations, risks, and implementation recommendations so clinical rationale is preserved.
