Newly hired Willow IP analyst because a pharmacist was needed for go-live: should I be worried about being let go post-GL?
I am a pharmacist that managed to do proficiency in WIP and land a role with a company going through implementation. An informatics team already exists for most disciplines, and the pharmacy informatics team already has several pharmacists. Like the title states, I’m starting to become concerned about job redundancy.
The informatics team has a certified pharmacist and recently determined that while they will not primarily focus on build, they will own ERXs post-GL, which has my wondering if my FTE will be questioned after implementation. I am the only new hire to the team, and was hired on Epic’s recommendation (requirement?) to staff a pharmacist on the analyst team. There was already an established analyst team for Cerner who are all certified and switching to the Epic team. We will have 1 consultant joining the team with plenty of experience but not a pharmacist. For context, it is a fairly small org with only 2 hospitals.
Our GL is well over a year from now which gives me some time, but would it be wise to prepare for the worst case scenario of my job being cut post-GL due to redundancy with informatics?
