Oswego Health promotes two in Info Services & Technology Department

A clinical analyst III manager offers support to all 1,300 employees at Oswego Health. From day-to-day technological demands to troubleshooting clinical requests, to process and workflow efficiencies, both Windey and Bacon play a key role in the organization’s equipment integration and updates, Oswego Health said in a June 20 release. In addition, they work side-by-side with clinical providers and ancillary services to ensure the best technology and advancements are available to meet the needs of patients.

Windey, a registered nurse, started at Oswego Health in 2000 as a nurse aide in the Medical Surgical Unit at Oswego Hospital. For the past 23 years, she has held various positions as a registered nurse, including clinical trainer for the health-care system, before understanding her passion was in information services & technology. That came when Windey was asked to advise on the adoption of a new clinical technology that would assist with patient care. In 2011, Windey transitioned to the IS&T department as an IS&T clinical analyst II. In 2013, she was promoted to clinical analyst III and now, clinical analyst III manager. 

Bacon started working at Oswego Health in 2005, originally in the Pharmacy Department at Oswego Hospital as a technician. In 2011, she was also tasked with assisting the IS&T department with a new clinical platform and quickly realized how both careers could overlap. Bacon was then promoted to pharmacy IT technician before transitioning fully to the department in 2013 as an IS&T clinical analyst II, then a clinical analyst III in 2017, before earning her new title as clinical analyst III manager.

“It gives me immense pleasure to announce the promotion of Brooke and Jennifer to Managers in our Applications Department. They have both been an integral part of the IS&T Clinical Applications Team for more than a decade and have been instrumental in building and deploying the applications that we have today. We are all so proud of their accomplishments and are eager to see their continued growth in the organization,” Barry Ryle, Oswego Health’s VP of information systems & chief information officer, said in the release.
