Responsibilites

PRIMARY FUNCTION: 

This position will assist in the administration of CCP's clinical applications environment, including the EMR/EHR systems, bidirectional data feeds, imaging, scheduling, and analysis systems. This team works with the rest of the system administration teams to ensure that all applications services are functional, secure, and recoverable on a consistent basis. The Junior Application Administrator helps maintain the application infrastructure and is responsible to resolve end user application issues, and to aid with any projects necessary to maintain the environment. This includes hardware, software, and storage updates for any systems. This position is also expected to work closely with the Applications Analysts to ensure that the environment meets the needs of the CCP-IT population and that environment is well documented for back end administration and end user use. The position will also act as an escalation point for applications issues if both the Applications Analyst and IT Ambulatory Technician are unable to resolve an applications issue. 

This position is also responsible for the applications support processes. This individual would also be responsible for assisting the Production Application Administrator with developing and maintaining adequate testing and validation processes for all applications and would be contribute in the maintenance of the Virtual test servers for all applications. This person should be familiar with industry best practices for enterprise production environments, including standards based processes for the server and storage equipment life cycle (implementation, change control, backups, disaster recovery, business continuity, and retirement.) 

This individual will be part of the on-call/first-call rotation, and will rotate the on-call/first-call responsibility every 6-7 weeks. This rotation provides for 24x7 off hours support for all production systems during a 7-day period. This includes either responding to off-hours calls for 24x7 supported systems, and resolving reported issues or escalating to the appropriate CCP-IT technician, engineer, or manager. To facilitate this rotation, each team member is expected to be responsive when issues with the systems under their purview are escalated to them, regardless of their status in the rotation.

This individual may also be called upon to perform projects and other activities by management.
