Healthcare IT Landscape & Roles
Analyst, informatics, build, implementation, support: what each role actually does day to day.
For nurses, therapists, pharmacists & clinicians
Burnout doesn't mean your clinical years were wasted. Beyond the Bedside shows you how to translate the workflows, safety instincts, and EHR know-how you already have into clinical systems analyst and healthcare IT roles, without starting your education over.

The clinical bridge
You've charted in Epic and Cerner at 3 a.m. You know where builds break down for the people using them, which is exactly what analyst teams need.
Alert fatigue, order sets, med reconciliation. You understand the stakes behind every configuration change.
IT teams have plenty of coders. What they lack are people who can translate between clinicians and technical staff.

Meet your instructor
I'm Denise. I started as a respiratory therapist, and I've spent more than 20 years in healthcare IT, mostly on the clinical applications side. I made the jump without a map, and I learned a lot of it the hard way.
Beyond the Bedside is what I wish I'd had: the real roles, how to translate your clinical experience, which technical skills are worth learning first, and how to actually get in the door.
