Research Assistant I

Your Opportunity:

As a member of the Decision Support Team (DST), the Clinical Informatics (CI) Assistant works closely with DST team members, and clinical and administrative staff and managers of Calgary and area Recovery Alberta (RA) services. The CI Assistant will also liaise with other departments across the other health care organizations (e.g. Information Technology, Health Information Management). The CI Assistant is responsible for a wide range of tasks in support of clinical informatics directly related to Connect Care (CC) use in Calgary area RA services. The successful candidate should possess a strong working knowledge of CC across the various modules (e.g. ASAP, inpatient, ambulatory) and should be open to ongoing learning as CC is upgraded and optimized. Success in the role is highly dependent on the incumbent having very good attention to detail, being a self-starter, and being extremely conscientious with respect to quality of work.

Participate in the development of data standards and data auditing procedures to support the maintenance of quality CC data. Assist with the development of in-system CC reports for the purpose of supporting operation and clinical practice.
