Principal Consultant - Cerner Behavioral Health

This role requires someone who can translate customer needs into practical solution designs, configure and validate those designs, and guide customers through implementation and ongoing improvement. As an individual contributor and project leader, you will work independently, exercise sound judgment, and deliver high-quality solutions within project timelines and budgets. You will support both customers implementing Behavioral Health and those improving existing content and workflows. Key Responsibilities • Lead Behavioral Health engagements: Guide solution design, configuration, implementation, and optimization activities using Oracle methodology and leading practices. • Facilitate content and workflow design: Lead discussions with clinical, operational, and technical stakeholders to understand requirements, assess current workflows, and define future workflows. • Configure and localize the solution: Perform hands-on configuration and adapt standard model content to customer needs and applicable regulatory requirements. • Improve existing implementations: Assess customer pain points, identify gaps, recommend improvements, and help customers adopt standard model content where appropriate. • Connect clinical needs with system design: Translate behavioral health requirements—including assessment, treatment planning, progress documentation, and group documentation—into effective EHR workflows. • Validate solution quality: Support testing, issue resolution, and implementation readiness to ensure configured content and workflows meet agreed requirements. • Advise customer leaders: Explain solution options and tradeoffs, build stakeholder alignment, and communicate decisions, risks, and progress. • Strengthen the consulting team: Once established in the team’s methodology, mentor newer consultants, provide design and configuration guidance, and share reusable practices.
