I am a Business Analyst currently assigned to Mergers and Acquisitions. I help facilitate the on boarding of new facilities by data analytics of products, contracts, and locations. While also helping new end users at the facility understand our policies and procedures.During our acquisition I help to bring on and ensure that the products used currently at the new facility are loaded in our system accurately and also align with our current standards. If they do not align then I help to also facilitate other resources such as Clinical Resource Managers to convert the new facility to Piedmont standards. During this time I help as well in maintaining and building cross walks for items , vendors, PAR's, etc.. In this time I also still assist in building the items, PAR's, and contracts into our MMIS system which is currently Peoplesoft.I have helped to on board 5 facilities at Piedmont and 3 of the 5 I have also assisted in on boarding to EPIC.I generate reports which helps to identify cost saving initiatives either by contract opportunities or by standardizing products or services.
