Senior Epic Business Analyst - Prelude/Grand Central

Overview

We are seeking a candidate with in-depth experience supporting Patient Access workflows across both inpatient and outpatient settings, with strong knowledge of Financial Clearance processes. The ideal candidate will have hands-on exposure to real-time eligibility verification, bed management, and service level authorizations, including knowledge of insurance workflows and systems to support prior authorization requirements. Epic Prelude and/or Grand Central certification preferred.

In this role, you will provide day-to-day support for Patient Access business operations while continuously optimizing Epic to maximize workflow efficiency and improve both the end-user and patient experience, recognizing a highly matrixed environment. You will serve as a liaison between end users, operational leaders, IT support teams, and vendors to design, build, support, and enhance Epic solutions in a timely, high-quality manner—triaging and resolving incidents and service requests, troubleshooting workflow and build issues, and identifying root causes and process improvements to prevent recurring problems. You’ll also contribute to project implementations and medium-to-high complexity initiatives by gathering and analyzing requirements, documenting workflows, translating needs into build/configuration, coordinating testing and validation, supporting go-live readiness, and driving post-go-live stabilization and ongoing optimization with minimal guidance. The ideal candidate stays current on industry trends, regulatory and payer requirements, and emerging Epic functionality and third-party solutions, bringing forward recommendations that strengthen compliance, efficiency, and patient access continuity; familiarity with adjacent Epic applications such as Willow, Beacon, Cadence, and/or Ambulatory is strongly valued.
