Crazy question. Took a job about a year ago job description was vague. I am now doing account management, QI, UR, analysis, presenting health info to execs, and some other stuff, for a Jumbo employer group. I work for a large insurance company but I am the only person doing this job. I am basically a jack of all trades for this employer. Am I doing health informatics? I create a strategy to improve heath for my group using the data I analyze.

Part of what you do is health Informatics which in essence is so broad. I struggled with doing alot as well. As a Clinical Informaticist, I work with Tableau and PowerBI creating reports. I engage with the clinical side by working on mapping documents for their new system integration. I also do some security work to make sure users are assigned correct roles, btw these are just a few of the things I do 😉

Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate the info. I have been hearing a lot about Tableau but have not checked it out.

I need some advice. I’m the Director for a women’s only RTF. Everyone on site is my direct report, with the exception of the therapists (they report to the Clinical Director).

One of the therapists has been a manipulative snake since she started here last December. This is her first job after college and she just turned 23. See comments for more info…

Change my mind: the talk around things shifting to a 'new normal' is overblown. Society's collective conscience is too short-term to enact massive changes to things we are comfortable (e.g., global warming). Yes, it will take awhile for offices to open back up, flights to be full, etc., but within 1-2 years things willbe mostly back to what they are like now and this massive structural shift will have never materialized.
