The Office of Information Services (OIS) is a shared service provider for the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS). OIS provides the technology systems and services that support more than 18,000 OHA and ODHS agency staff at local offices and facilities around the state. These systems and services help the two agencies determine client service program eligibility; provide medical, housing, food, and job assistance; provide addiction, mental health, vocational and rehabilitative services; protect children, seniors, and people with physical and/or developmental disabilities; process claims and benefits; manage provider licensing and state hospital facilities; and promote and protect the state public health.
OIS seeks a Project Manager IV to provide expert support in Microsoft Project and Office 365 for the Oregon State Public Health Lab (OSPHL) Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) Replacement Project.
Scope:
The position being sought will be embedded with the Oregon State Public Health Laboratory (OSPHL).
The Center for Public Health Practice (CHPH) within the Public Health Division of OHA provides services to prevent and control diseases, monitor vital events, and assure an effective statewide public health system. CPHP programs work closely with local and tribal governments, community partners, and the public to protect and improve the health of all people in Oregon. Special emphasis is placed on communicable diseases, including epidemiology, laboratory testing, immunization, and other community control measures. CPHP screens all newborn infants for biochemical disorders to prevent disability or death and collects and analyzes vital record data to monitor health trends. The quality of statewide public health services is assured through consultation, planning, review, and accreditation of state and local agencies.
Oregon State Public Health Laboratory (OSPHL) plays a critical role in Oregon's response to emerging pathogens by providing timely and quality testing for populations at risk of infection and in response to outbreaks. OSPHL also supports timely screening and follow-up of infants in Oregon.
OIS seeks a Project Manager IV to provide expert support in Microsoft Office 365 for the OSPHL Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) Replacement Project.
The Oregon State Public Health Laboratory's (OSPHL) Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is currently made up of four different disparate data systems/processes, that are at least fifteen years old. There are many areas of the current LIMS systems that are inefficient for current needs, and are inadequate for future needs, as the lab modernizes its testing platforms and data systems. Current LIMS systems lack capabilities required for future operation of a public health laboratory in a modern data ecosystem. Furthermore, LIMS configuration options are not used to their full potential, primarily due to age of the system, lack of expertise outside of dedicated LIMS administrators, lack of resources (including insufficient financial support, OIS staff support, and OHA staff support) and the reality that maintaining one system has little to no impact on the other 3 systems (reduced return on investment
The ONE LIMS Project Executive Steering Committee (ESC) defined the project scope to be: Replace all four Newborn Bloodspot Screening (NBS) and Communicable Disease (CD) LIMS case and test management systems - Neometrics, Specimen Gate, Outreach, and Harvest.
For NBS, OSPHL uses two LIMS systems from different vendors (Perkin Elmer's Specimen Gate system and Natus' Neometrics system). Perkin Elmer Specimen Gate focuses on instrument interfaces, specimen tracking, and calculating test results, while Natus Neometrics focuses on demographics, result reporting, and follow-up. Newborn screening test results are communicated via phone call (abnormal findings), manual fax (abnormal / unsatisfactory), paper letter, and electronic portal. Currently there are no other electronic means (fax, ETOR) in place.
For CD, OSPHL uses two systems from one vendor. Orchard Outreach (formerly COPIA) handles order receipt, demographics, and reporting, and Orchard Harvest handles test results and limited instrument interfaces. Communicable disease results are communicated to providers via Electronic Test Orders and Results (ETOR), electronic portal, fax, or telephone.

Other Tasks:
The Project Manager position will specifically focus on developing and refining project planning and scheduling to increase efficiency and accuracy.
