• Implementation & Deployment Experience: At least one full-lifecycle enterprise EHR implementation carried from design and build through go-live and hypercare; multi-site, wave, or cohort deployment experience preferred.
• Oracle Cerner Millennium Experience (Preferred): Hands-on experience with Oracle Health (Cerner) Millennium — its clinical solution set (PowerChart, PowerOrders/PowerPlans, Dynamic Documentation, FirstNet, SurgiNet, PharmNet) and its build, domain, and code-set model.
• Federal Health Experience: Demonstrated experience working within federal health systems, such as the VA, DoD/DHA, IHS, or other federal healthcare agencies; familiarity with federal EHR modernization efforts and joint program office structures preferred.
• Federal Program Delivery: Experience delivering clinical or health IT services in a federal program environment — performance work statements, defined deliverable schedules, integrated master schedules, and a working understanding of which determinations rest with federal officials and how recommendations are packaged for them.
