Regardless of who a clinical analyst reports to or what department their pay is counted against, they must have a strong working relationship between IT and Nursing to be successful. They must have a solid understanding of the nursing process and how different designs of nursing documentation can impact that process and staff job satisfaction as well as supporting legal and regulatory requirements. However, they also must have a thorough understanding of the strengths and capabilities of the computerized system they work with if they are to leverage it to its fullest potential. Because Nurses and Techies talk different languages, the clinical analyst becomes the essential translator between the two. So, even in larger hospitals it is not helpful to have an "us" and "them" mentality!
