McLean Hospital, America's top ranked freestanding psychiatric hospital, is inviting applications for a Digital Clinical Lead. Healthcare has seen a renewed focus on both the patient and provider experience, and an expanding reliance on established and emerging digital technologies to deliver high quality, safe, equitable and efficient care. The MGB Digital Clinical Lead (DCL) to McLean and system Behavioral and Mental Health (BMH) will provide leadership for the implementation of Digital solutions that enhance the clinician experience, while accounting for the delivery of high quality, safe, equitable, efficient care in an environment of exceptional patient experience.

In the short-term, the position will focus on improving care team experience with the EHR and associated clinical IT systems. The DCL will be a leader and change agent, working closely with the MGB ACMIO to McLean Hospital/BMH clinicians to understand their users' workflows and needs.

The remainder, non-Digital Clinical Lead portion of the incumbent's efforts will be directed to clinical work, teaching of residents, interns and fellows at McLean Hospital/BMH, and/or research.
