Virtual Care Summer Non-Clinical Intern

Summary

Virtual Care is part of the larger Nursing Informatics team — reporting to Michelle Charles, SVP. Informatics focuses on the use of technology in the care of patients, as well as data analysis. The Virtual Care team is seeking an intern who will work in a hybrid of remote (local to Fort Wayne only) and on-site at the hospitals and the Business & Technology Center. Remote work will involve the use of a Parkview provided laptop to assist with data gathering, validation, and analysis. The various project work experienced as an intern provides a great opportunity to learn about healthcare and will prepare them for future roles.

The intern will receive training on the technology used in the hospital and department which the Virtual Care team supports, such as iPhones, iPads, video equipment, etc. Once trained, the intern may go to the hospital units helping to support the use of these devices or other technologies (working alongside other Virtual Care team members). The intern may be involved in observing and assisting with the implementation of new processes. For remote work, the intern may complete chart audits, gather data, create reports, and assist the teams with other similar tasks. Actual duties will depend upon the project work at that time.

Students will need to have knowledge of Microsoft Office tools, specifically Excel. Background in data analysis and data visualization is a plus. Students should be willing and able to assist the Virtual Care team in providing technical and workflow support in the hospital/department setting following training. Students will need good communication skills, as they may be interacting with Nurses and Patient Care Techs in the hospital.
