As the Senior Solution Advisor for Perioperative Services, you will be a critical subject matter expert and trusted advisor, bridging the gap between the client’s surgical and anesthesia departments and the capabilities of the Oracle Health (Cerner) Millennium EHR. You will guide stakeholders through complex workflow transformations, driving the successful design and adoption of the SurgiNet and Anesthesia Management solutions. Your primary objective is to ensure these solutions improve patient safety, optimize resource utilization (ORs, staff, equipment), and ensure accurate charge capture in the highly complex perioperative environment. To excel in this senior position, you must have a strong background in perioperative informatics, OR nursing/technology, or clinical applications consulting. You will lead the design of the entire surgical journey, from case scheduling to PACU, and be the go-to expert for the intricate processes of preference card management and supply/implant documentation. You will also oversee the integration of the Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS) with physiological monitors and anesthesia machines. Your role will involve close collaboration with key stakeholders—including surgeons, anesthesiologists, OR nurses, schedulers, sterile processing directors, and supply chain leaders—to ensure the perioperative suite is safe, efficient, and financially sound.
