• Test reported bugs, validate enhancements, and perform QA on new or changed reports pre- and post-release to confirm accuracy.

• Serve as the subject-matter expert for Epic reports: understand available reports and outputs, consult with stakeholders on Epic’s role in the broader reporting ecosystem, triage and prioritize ad‑hoc requests, and configure Epic reports to meet requirements.

• Create and maintain clear, authoritative documentation explaining report logic, UX, data sources, calculations, and use cases to ensure consistent interpretation and consumption.

• Maintain accurate records of use cases, escalation scenarios, and decision logs to enable continuity of service and inform prioritization.

• Produce and preserve procedures, SOPs, release notes, roadmaps and quick-reference materials to support onboarding and operational consistency.

• Design and deliver regional orientation and role-based training programs (workshops, demos, office hours); track regional completion and proficiency; tailor materials by region and role; and iterate content based on feedback.

Process Improvement and Quality Assurance

• Apply process‑improvement best practices and data governance principles to identify root causes, prioritize opportunities, and implement solutions that increase efficiency, quality and consistency.
