Professional Experience/Projects

Project 1:

Single web -based tool that links information about Kaiser financial suppliers invoices and inventories seamlessly in one place Onelink FDW/EPM comprise mainly on Pharmacy Data, Drugs Data, Medical Surgical Materials,SCM and financial.

Project 2:

The project is to upgrade HRDW data warehouse application from Datastage 8.5 to 9.1. Project 3:

LDGL a Bolton application built under MyHR platform in 2007 is currently integrated with OneLink Platform to process and post summarized Labor Costing Accounting Entries into General Ledger. LDGL in MyHR platform will continue its core functions with exception of GL Processing which will completely processed at the detail level in OneLink System (as opposed to current summary integration). This will benefit OneLink ERP with Journal drill-down capability to the Labor Costing detail such as for Payroll and Leave Accounting detail

Project 4 :

POU stands for Point Of Use. Kaiser has used POU enhancements that were put in place to help health connect folks, one of the primary money generating business is Operations. In the Health Connect System, the doctors and patients use EPIC application to look at the patient history or the operation history. EPIC system also maintains all the material information related to an operation. Health Connect is a team that maintains all the information in EPIC system starting from fixing surgery for patients. Once an operation is fixed, an operating room will be allocated to the patient and for each type of operation, there exists a procedure card which will have all the information about the material (Supply/Implant type) required for the operation, which could be supplies or Implants required to perform that particular operation like cotton, scissors etc. The materials could be classified into two types depending on how they are used - Implants and Supplies. Implant is an item that will be used inside the body. Supplies are the materials used to carry out the operations like Scissors, bandages, knives etc.
