The Application Support Analyst provides technical and functional support for users across the Baltimore City Health Department (BCHD), with a primary focus on supporting clinical and revenue cycle operations within the OCHIN Epic Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. This role combines front-line Epic/EHR end-user support with specialized responsibility for revenue cycle workflows — including charge capture, coding edits, claims scrubbing, and billing rules — to help ensure accurate and timely reimbursement. The Application Support Analyst collaborates closely with clinical, billing, coding, and finance staff, as well as OCHIN analysts and external vendors, to troubleshoot issues, support system upgrades, and deliver end-user training.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for end-user support requests related to the Epic EHR system, triaging, documenting, and resolving issues in a timely manner. 
• Support the configuration, maintenance, and optimization of Epic revenue cycle workflows, including charge capture, coding edits, claims scrubbing, and billing rules, to ensure accurate and timely reimbursement.  
• Collaborate with clinical, billing, coding, and finance staff to identify and resolve system-related barriers to clean claim submission.    
• Partner with Epic and OCHIN analysts to troubleshoot revenue cycle build issues, test system updates affecting charge and claims workflows, and implement changes driven by payer or regulatory requirements.  
• Monitor key revenue cycle reports and dashboards to identify trends, denials, or workflow breakdowns, and escalate findings to appropriate stakeholders.
• Coordinate user acceptance testing (UAT) with clinical and operational staff, tracking issues through to resolution. 
• Create, maintain, and continuously update end-user training materials, quick reference guides, and workflow documentation for Epic and all supported health applications.
• Facilitate training sessions and provide individualized coaching to clinical and administrative staff, covering EHR use, best practices, and the impact of system updates.
• Proactively monitor support trends to identify systemic knowledge gaps, designing and delivering targeted training initiatives to build staff capability and reduce recurring issues. 
• Support organizational reporting needs related to the EHR, including the development and maintenance of Epic reports using Clarity, Caboodle, or other reporting tools. 
• Support the maintenance and operation of additional organizational data systems outside of the EHR and core platforms, ensuring continuity of service across the Health Department's technology environment.
