• AI & Innovation Scouting: Allocate time to review the performance of active AI models (e.g., predictive patient flow or automated coding) and assess the infrastructure requirements for upcoming ML (machine learning) pilots.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Review: Review automated deployment pipelines to ensure that network, server, and Epic environments are being provisioned consistently without manual error.
• Cloud FinOps Management: Monitor daily cloud consumption dashboards to optimize spend across Azure, AWS (Amazon Web Services), or GCP(Google Cloud Platform), ensuring resources are scaled appropriately for peak clinical hours.

• UX and Cloud Management: Work with the teams to develop and support highly performant solutions and reduce the strain of team members managing such a large infrastructure.

2. Epic & Enterprise Application Health

• ECSA(Epic Client Server Administrator) Environment Check: Review the daily health reports of the Epic ECSA stack. This includes monitoring the performance of Hyperspace web servers, Interconnect instances, and ensuring Print Service queues are clear.
