Welcome to AllisonGeorge.com - I'm a clinical information technologist and IT educator with more than ten years' of workplace success in clinical labs, K-12 classrooms and in a large health care organization.
If "clinical information technologist" or "IT educator" sound like mouthfuls of jargon to you, don't worry: these two terms mean that I bridge two worlds - of people and technology - by designing courses and training that help end-users become comfortable and confident using new technologies. Right now, that means helping front-line care workers better understand and access electronic health records, while working behind the scenes to make sure that the development and integration of multiple record systems and clinical applications goes smoothly.That's a pretty big set of tasks, and I get a lot of satisfaction in knowing that I can solve technical hurdles and make sure that the people who most need to know how to access information can do so effectively.
I've developed an extensive and eclectic skillset to support the wide variety of work I have done. I've set high goals for myself in application support, IT security and project management-and have a track record of achievement in those areas, though I'm nowhere near done learning.
Process improvement and problems solving are my main motivators. That forward drive is key for me: I plan ahead and set goals that are realistic, though not always easily achieved. Planning is just as powerful and essential as the flexibility to react to situations as they actually arise, and I'm happy to say I'm good at both.
With people as with technology, problem-solving often means comparing ad-hoc and creative approaches against common sense and so-called "simple" or elegantly engineered solutions. Both make me happy - whether working through diagnostic chains with specialists or bringing complicated topics down to earth for general audiences. I'm the kind of person who takes on tough jobs, loves them, learns from them and motivates everyone around me to do the same.
