• Lead standard configuration discussions, ensuring alignment with Vetcor’s operational standards and industry best practices.
• Assist in designing and implementing standard code sets, categories, groups, and their management processes within the PIMS framework to support effective monitoring and control.
• Identify functional and non-functional gaps based on stakeholder input and current system capabilities and work with the vendor to develop a clear roadmap to close these gaps through system enhancements and process improvements.
• Translate stakeholder requirements into clearly documented functional specifications and user stories to guide system selection, configuration, and migration efforts.
• Collaborate with PIMS Implementation Manager to oversee testing, validation, and user training to ensure the PIMS meets established requirements.
• Provide strong project governance by communicating progress, managing risks, and securing stakeholder buy-in throughout the initiative.
• Recommend continuous improvement opportunities to evolve Vetcor’s PIMS standards post-implementation.
