Leading and managing the || |microbiology portion of Cerner Millennium implementation. || |Making changes in general lab tests (chemistry and hematology) as far as || |reference ranges are concerned and making changes with test names. || |Implementing Cerner Millennium across multiple campuses (Cornell, || |Columbia and Allen Pavilion). || |Used many Cerner Pathnet applications for various tasks (application bar,|| |open view, all the microbiology db tools, dcp, DORC, charge services, mdi|| |audit tool, departmental order entry, result entry, order result viewer, || |batch result entry, QC applications and bedrock. || |Extensive use of Eclipsys by ordering a wide spectrum of tests and making|| |sure that they crossed over to Millennium through the interfaces. That || |was done by opening up HL7 to see if the orders did come across. Order || |sets were also used to test if all parts of a specific order test could || |come over through downstream systems (Eclipsys) to Millennium. || |Extensive interface testing with ADT, the whole system interfaces, FSI || |primarily, and instrumental/application interfaces || |Resulting tests in Millennium and making sure that they crossed back over|| |to Eclipsys. The HL7 was utilized daily to see if the results crossed || |over in downstream systems. || |Many down streams were utilized before, during and after implementation || |of Millennium. Aside from Eclipsys, we used Allscripts and Epic. || |Allscripts were used specifically by the uptown campus (Columbia || |Presbyterian Hospital). || |Testing where all orderable tests were compatible with Eclipsys and all || |downstream systems. || |Creating Standard Operating Procedures for the LIS team and for all the || |end users for all cerner applications. Extensive documentation was || |provided for service level agreement. || |Created training material for Cornell and Columbia campuses, the || |laboratory personnel and the LIS team. Job aids were also created to || |assist further in training with visual aids. || |Oversaw integration testing and followed by documenting defects and || |producing a solution for defects. || |Interpreting the laboratory change requests and determining the impact on|| |other campuses/systems. Aligning the appropriate resources to produce a || |solution that appeased all laboratories. || |Worked very closely with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to develop their || |skills in using the Cerner Millennium application which stemmed into || |extensive experience in working in the Cerner laboratory. || |Worked with the billing aspect of Cerner Millennium.
