Nursing Informatics Summer Non-Clinical Intern at Parkview Health

Informatics focuses on the use of technology in the care of patients, as well as data analysis. The Nursing Informatics team is seeking an intern who will work a hybrid of remote (local to Fort Wayne area only) and on site at the hospitals. Remote work will involve the use of a Parkview provided laptop to assist with data gathering and analysis. Additionally, the intern will assist the team with helping caregivers with the use of technology on site in the hospital departments. The various project work experienced as an intern provides a great opportunity to learn about healthcare and will prepare them for future roles.

The intern will receive training on the technology used in the hospital which the Nursing Informatics team supports, such as iPhones, iPads, etc. Once trained, the intern may go to the hospital units, working alongside the team members, helping to support the use of these devices or other technologies. The intern may be involved in observing and assisting with the implementation of new processes. For the remote work, the intern may complete chart audits, gather data, create reports, and assist the teams with other similar tasks. Actual duties will depend upon the project work at that time.
