SUMMARY

The Healthcare Systems Engineer provides the rigorous, comprehensive approach and means to assess, develop, validate and manage a complex, operational system. The system of interest is the system of systems required to eliminate preventable harm and improve patient outcomes. These systems include human factors, processes, technology and information spanning the delivery and documentation of patient care to the transmission and analysis of data used to measure the safety and quality of care. The Systems Engineer's role is to achieve the integration, precision and efficiency in systems from patient care to external transmission to assure the external analysis of transmitted data accurately measures the excellent care provided.

The Systems Engineer develops a deep technical understanding of these systems and component elements. Documents the concept of operations, functional requirements, and interfaces. Monitors and assesses the operation of the systems by developing operational telemetry and data reports to analyze performance data.
