Monitor health and capacity; plan and apply approved updates and security patches; validate service operation after maintenance.
• Administer Active Directory, Entra ID, Microsoft 365 groups and dynamic membership, group policy, privileged access, service accounts, and identity integrations in coordination with security, HR, the Clinical Systems Specialist, and the Help Desk.

• Monitor capacity, health, availability, logs, and performance; investigate incidents and recurring problems and implement approved corrective actions.

• Support Microsoft Purview audit and information requests only when authorized by the appropriate privacy, HR, legal, or records owner, with documented scope and access controls.
• Administer or provide designated backup for Jamf Pro, Apple Business Manager, device management certificates, and Microsoft Intune. Help develop approved device enrollment, application deployment, and Company Portal processes.

• Administer thin and zero client end-user devices (such as 10ZiG) and their management tools. Test firmware and configuration changes with representative clinical and administrative workflows, then schedule, deploy, validate, and document approved updates.

Problem management and service improvement

• Lead root cause analysis for recurring or complex issues across endpoints, virtual desktops, Teams, servers, storage, policies, network dependencies, and power. Use logs and evidence to create durable fixes rather than repeatedly resolving individual incidents.

• Use the configuration management database (CMDB) to document and maintain critical system support information, including primary and backup support staff, vendor contacts, Summit’s ownership and support responsibilities, service level agreements (SLAs), and support hours.

Projects and change control

• Plan, test, document, and implement server and platform changes, upgrades, migrations, and new services through approved change control, including rollback and post-change monitoring.
• Support infrastructure projects and collaborate with network, security, service desk, clinical, and application teams on dependencies and incidents.

Clinical systems backup

• Serve as the trained backup for technical assistance on clinical systems such as Mindray, Vocera, Hill-Rom Nurse Call, OneView, and other assigned platforms, including server health, access, interfaces, vendor coordination, planned maintenance, and recovery procedures.
• Provide first response and routine coverage during the Clinical Systems Specialist absence.

Shared coverage and continuity

• Maintain current diagrams, inventories, configuration records, support procedures, vendor contacts, and recovery steps for assigned systems in shared team documentation.
• Crosstrain others in IT; participate in planned maintenance, incident response, testing, and handoffs so others can also provide first response and routine operational coverage.
• Escalate specialized issues to the primary owner or vendor, document the outcome, and follow change control and access approval requirements.

Organizational responsibilities

• Support Summit Pacific Medical Center’s mission, vision, and values; protect confidential information and PHI; follow organizational policies and approved security practices; and work respectfully with clinical, administrative, and technology teams.
• Other duties as assigned.

On Call and Incident Response
