Here is a post written by PRN member Rebecca C. Winokur, M.D., Sr. Clinical Content Editor, about her job experience at Allscripts. Information about applying for a similar job is provided at the end.
“I’m happily well into my third year of my non-clinical career as a Sr. Content Editor at Allscripts and would like to share highlights from my experience as my company is now hiring to fill another physician position similar to mine. The brief version of how I got here is this. I am trained as a Family Medicine physician with a primary care sports medicine fellowship and worked in a nice orthopedic practice for nearly 5 years. A few years into my sports medicine work, I realized that I didn’t love my job. And I had no call and saw generally healthy patients. So I went to a SEAK conference, found The Entrepreneurial MD and used the PRN web site to help define what I was looking for and develop a plan to get there.
I can now honestly say that I love my job. I am intellectually challenged on a daily basis and work with a fantastic team of smart motivated people. I work on the Clinical Content Team for Allscripts, which among other things, offers several leading EHR products. My team’s work is focused on Enterprise EHR, which is used by large ambulatory physician practices. My day-to-day work varies with my biggest responsibility as clinical manager of the Note Form library. Note Forms are the structured, point and click templates used to document the narrative part of a visit. Our library contains approximately 10,000 Note Forms which and I am responsible for managing the updating of this content, planning our team’s quarterly and yearly content work and reaching out to client users to get real life feedback that shapes our team’s work. Another big part of my job includes working with clients both via phone and webcasts and on-site visits to understand the specialty and geographic uniqueness of a practice that influences how the content and EHR in general are adopted and used by physicians. In addition, I work closely with the other physician on our team who manages our order set library and in this role I help her to plan content updates and am responsible for updating a subset of order sets. There is some travel, approximately 1-2 trips per month at most although in some months there is no travel. I do continue to practice one day per week, which is encouraged. The job in general is a great fit for someone who wants to continue to use their clinical education and practice while working in a collaborative and ever changing and exciting setting.
