• Support super users, designated trainers, and end users: Serve as a frontline application training resource for super users, designated trainers, and end users by assisting with workflow and application questions and escalating unresolved issues to the appropriate team.
• Identify workflow coaching and training opportunities: Observe clinical and operational workflows to identify application training needs, workflow coaching opportunities, knowledge gaps, and potential improvement opportunities for review with EHR Application Principal Trainers, informatics, operations, or application teams.
• Support validation of training materials and workflows: Partner with EHR Application Principal Trainers and subject matter experts to review and validate lesson plans, training materials, workflow documentation, user-facing resources, and training exercises for alignment across all phases of medication management and closed-loop processes.
• Test training readiness materials: Test training environments, user scenarios, lesson plans, exercises, and training materials prior to delivery. Report issues, inconsistencies, or gaps to the appropriate EHR Application Principal Trainer, informatics analyst, or technical team.
• Document learner feedback and training gaps: Document learner feedback, user questions, knowledge gaps, workflow concerns, and training needs. Recommend updates to training materials, refresher sessions, support resources, or workflow coaching plans.
• Maintain current application and workflow knowledge: Maintain current knowledge of assigned EHR applications, organizational workflows, role-based training materials, adult learning practices, workflow coaching techniques, and application training standards.
