The Opportunity

• Each newly acquired practice comes with its own workflows, staff habits, and legacy system experience. As we expand across multiple locations, clinical staff need a consistent, reliable training and support experience.

• This specialist would also support the integration and adoption of additional tools as we continue to expand our technology footprint.

  A visible, dedicated training and support presence signals to newly acquired staff that we take their experience seriously — directly supporting engagement and retention during periods of significant change.

  • Support adoption of emerging tools, including AI-assisted applications
  • Stay current on system updates and evolving best practices

  Clinical Systems Optimization

  • Support EHR and clinical system optimization to meet the needs of member practices
