Business Systems Analyst 1 (NY HELPS) Vacancy ID 198979_[4]
Applications due 10/14/25
A Business Analyst with IT expertise is critically needed to support the Newborn Screening (NBS) Program. NBS performs medical tests to identify babies with certain disorders, which without intervention, may permanently impact newborns and their families. NBS relies on the highly customized Natus software as its Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), which is essential for reporting and managing newborn screening results, including timely follow-up on abnormal findings. Given the complexity of the system and its integration into daily operations, such as the Health Commerce System and the Universal Public Health Node, a dedicated analyst with a strong understanding of information technology is necessary to ensure a smooth transition as the program undergoes changes in licensing, server environments, and platform migrations. NBS must adapt to meet new demands in data management, storage, system updates/upgrades, cybersecurity, and long-term maintenance. This role is essential to maintain system functionality, protect data integrity, and ensure the continued delivery of this vital public health service.
