Summary:
The client is seeking a seasoned and versatile Senior Epic Willow Consultant (Level III) with deep expertise spanning both Willow Inpatient (IP) and Ambulatory (AMB) pharmacy modules (or heavy primary IP expertise). As a key member of our healthcare technology consulting practice, you will lead complex implementations, cross-continuum medication management optimizations, and digital transformations for major healthcare systems. We are looking for an expert who can independently drive end-to-end design, mentor junior team members, and partner with executive pharmacy leadership to maximize their Epic investment.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Implementation & Optimization Strategy: Lead the end-to-end design, complex build, testing, and deployment of Epic Willow IP and AMB workflows, ensuring seamless medication continuity across the inpatient and outpatient care continuum.

Clinical & Operational Collaboration: Engage directly with directors of pharmacy, clinical pharmacists, and medical staff to align system architecture with regulatory standards, inventory management goals, and advanced patient safety initiatives.

Qualifications:
-
Minimum of 5 to 7 years of hands-on configuration and implementation experience with Epic Willow.
-
Current, active Epic Willow Certification (Dual IP and AMB certification strongly preferred; robust primary Willow IP expertise required if single-module).
-
Proven track record of delivering major Epic implementations, optimization, or upgrade lifecycles within large hospital networks, integrated delivery networks (IDNs), or complex health systems.
-
Comprehensive knowledge of pharmacy operations, 340B compliance, medication safety standards, and pharmacy automation/interoperability.
