• EMR and Workflow Integration: Demonstrate familiarity with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems to ensure seamless data flow from all new monitoring devices.
• Actively engage with clinical stakeholders to assess and refine clinical workflows impacted by the new equipment.
• Transition Management: Oversee the final steps of the current Rev 4 Philips upgrade to ensure a clean handoff and prevent residual issues from impacting new projects.

Phase II: Capnography Deployment & Infrastructure (Following Phase I Completion)

• Capnography Implementation: Lead the deployment and integration of 45 Capnography devices across 255 beds at two different hospitals.
• Initiate a wireless site survey as a first priority (familiarity with this process is huge).

• Plan and manage the Virtual Education component for the Capnography go-live.

Required Skillsets & Experience -

• Organizational and Communication Excellence:
• Expertise in formal reporting, scheduling check-ins, and developing/maintaining comprehensive project plans.
• Proactive identification and escalation of risks and issues to leadership.
• Ability to clearly communicate deliverables and progress to both technical and clinical audiences.
• Healthcare IT & Device Experience:
