Responsibilities - Vendor Relationship Management - Serve as the primary liaison with our outsourced IT provider, ensuring service delivery continues to align with business expectations, SLAs, and compliance requirements. - Healthcare IT Operations - Ensure systems and processes align with healthcare-specific standards (e.g., HIPAA, PHI data handling), including collaboration with clinical and administrative teams. - Security & Compliance Oversight - Maintain a secure IT environment through active oversight of endpoint protection, access control, and adherence to regulatory requirements, in partnership with our outsourced IT service provider. - Hardware and Software Selection – Recommend standard equipment for each role within knownwell, and work with our outsourced IT provider to formalize and implement these standard offerings.
