Responsibilities

  • Manage application updates, releases, testing, validation, and implementation of new functionality.
  • Provide technical and functional expertise in developing activation plans, application activation activities, production readiness, and implementation strategies.
  • Review and test application builds, releases, enhancements, and configuration changes before production implementation.

  • Monitor and provide guidance regarding integration and data exchange between QGenda and enterprise systems.
  • Partner with technical, operational, and vendor teams to identify platform risks, dependencies, and opportunities for performance and process improvement.

  • Support development and implementation of enterprise governance standards for QGenda configuration, security, workflows, data, integrations, and change management.
  • Analyze downstream impacts of proposed configuration or workflow changes across departments, integrations, reporting, payroll, and dependent processes before implementation.
  • Identify risks, dependencies, and operational impacts associated with migration and consolidation, and coordinate resolution with stakeholders.
  • Support data mapping, validation, configuration rationalization, testing, migration, and implementation activities to transition legacy QGenda environments to the consolidated enterprise platform.
  • Develop recommendations for process improvement, workflow standardization, automation, and system optimization based on enterprise requirements analysis.
  • Serve as liaison between operational stakeholders, technical teams, leadership, and the vendor, translating complex business needs into functional and technical requirements.
  • Maintain enterprise-level documentation of requirements, decisions, workflows, dependencies, risks, and configuration standards to support long-term platform governance and sustainability.
  • Ensure consolidation and optimization decisions support platform reliability, business continuity, and availability of critical scheduling functions.
  • Partner with departments to develop and maintain accurate staff and provider scheduling processes within established enterprise standards.
  • Ensure data integrity and consistency for provider profiles, credentials, availability, scheduling attributes, and other QGenda data elements.

  • Support payroll, compliance, reporting, and other downstream business processes dependent on QGenda scheduling data.
  • Analyze data and workflow issues to identify root causes and recommend sustainable solutions rather than isolated configuration fixes.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to define reporting requirements and ensure QGenda data supports operational and management decision-making.
  • Provide functional and technical support to physicians, staff, administrators, operational leaders, and other QGenda users.
  • Investigate and resolve complex user-reported issues, workflow problems, configuration concerns, and system errors, escalating to technical teams or the vendor as appropriate.
  • Analyze recurring incidents and user issues to identify root causes, system improvements, training opportunities, or process changes.
  • Develop and maintain training materials, standard operating procedures, frequently asked questions, knowledge articles, and user guides.
  • Develop and deliver training for new and existing users, administrators, and departmental stakeholders.
