Lead Business Analyst - Remote, PA

The primary objective of this engagement is to provide supplemental support to the Bureau, specifically on adoption of electronic reporting by licensed healthcare providers. This breadth of duties includes clear verbal and written communication skills, customer service skills, understanding and explaining business requirements and workflow, problem identification, and end-user support.

The selected contractor will lead the EDRS Adoption team, building on lessons learned from QAT questionnaires and outreach. The team will assist external stakeholders (including physicians, nurses, and other licensed healthcare professionals at PA healthcare facilities), with EDRS onboarding and enrollment.  This process involves working with BHSR staff, primarily the QAT and Business Workflow units, and the external stakeholders. The intent is for the EDRS Adoption team to perform outreach to external stakeholders identified and prioritized by BHSR; provide direct support to stakeholders to follow enrollment procedures, troubleshoot enrollment issues, and successfully access EDRS; assist with password resets and account unlocks upon request; and provide recommendations to facilities to incorporate EDRS into facility workflows. Additionally, based on progress of the initiative, contractors may conduct outreach to raise awareness of EDRS and facilitate enrollment, or assist in basic end-user support.

This activity involves working directly with program subject matter experts (SMEs) and stakeholders to maintain a working knowledge of the SSO and EDRS account request procedures; understand business requirements and workflow for instructional purposes; refer users to technical and training resources as appropriate; and provide end-user support such as password management, account troubleshooting, process management expertise, etc.
