Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Hive EPR team powered by Epic and join the Patient Engagement Portal (MyMFT) module.
MyMFT is MFT’s Patient Engagement Portal and a key front-door to our organisation, empowering our patients.
The role is going to be responsible for developing the configuration of our Patient Engagement Portal further, working very closely with our clinical and operational teams for enhancements.
As an EPR Senior Application Analyst, you’ll design and configure EPR modules and adapt them to our working practices and standards. Your work will be a vital link between the new technology and our services and will ensure our transition to Hive is a success.
You’ll work closely with our staff to analyse our current processes, then agree on clinical and operational standards and future workflows to be incorporated into Epic, the software that runs Hive. To make sure our systems meet operational and auditing requirements, you’ll also collaborate with our Business Intelligence team.
As a central member of the project, you’ll be required to lead on engagement with clinicians and other staff related to your module. But there are also opportunities to work with other EPR module teams across testing, security, user support and medical device integration. As part of your EPR training, you’ll also receive recognised qualifications in an application module.
MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with aturnover of £2.6bn, but the Trust’sdistinction lies not merely in our size but in the passion and dedication of our staff, the strength of our partnerships across health and social care, and the diverse range of services we uniquely provide.
We provide integrated community care to people in Manchester and Trafford through our Local Care Organisations and IntegratedNeighbourhoodTeams. We provide local hospital services to almost one million people, including accident and emergency, diagnostic tests, outpatient appointments and day case surgery. We are the biggest provider of specialised services in England, which includes major surgery and highly specialised medicine. People come from across the United Kingdom to receive care at our hospitals. Our teams support people with both their physical and mental health, including mental health services for children and young people.
Bringing together ten hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.
At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open, and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
MFT’s Digital Team
Joiningthe digital serviceputs you at the heart of the Trust’s digital enablement journey. The implementation of the Hive Electronic Patients Record (EPR), powered by EPIC, in September 2022, which was the biggest of its kind in the UK at that time, was the first step in realising the MFT vision of a ‘Digital First’ organisation and significantly increases the Trust’s capability to unleash the power of data, through its ability to capture high quality/volume acute clinical and non-clinical services data and to exploit this data to catalyse digital transformation and support improved patient care.
In parallel we have an ambitious digital strategy, which builds on Hive EPR as an engine for transformation for MFT, to deliver scalable, robust, and reliable digital infrastructure, applications, and services, to support other major programmes. This includes the delivery of the Single Hospital Service which was achieved when North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH) formally joined MFT in April 2021. As well as supportingnational projects, including the New Hospitals Programme, with the redevelopment of the NMGH which is defining the digital approach to a new generation of hospitals. Further, we are developing our governance approach to ensure the Trust makes best safe use of advances such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Robotic Process Automation across all our services. This is an incredibly exciting time to join our digital team as we continue to addressfurther expansion in the complexity and volume of technological demand.
The digital team has a pivotal role in supporting MFT to deliver clinically led, operationally delivered, digitally-enabled services.Our staff work across key functions including: strategy, governance and assurance, portfolio services including demand and delivery, information and patient services, and teams supporting our Hive EPR and all connected applications and other digital systems, technology architecture, infrastructure, and operational services. We arealso supported by a diverse clinical informatics team, ensuring our digital solutions are safe, efficient and patient focused. The clinical informatics team is made up consultants across the organisation and a dedicated Digital Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professional Team, who work closely with the Chief Medical Informatics Officers.
As a member of the digital team you will directly support the organisation to deliver andimprove clinical quality, patient and staff experience, operational effectiveness, and research. We’re proud of the positive impact we make every day to the lives of our colleagues and our patients and we’re excited to offer you theopportunity to join our team.
