Where Clinical Meets Technical

Eric Andrew Kristof

My career path is anything but conventional — and that’s precisely what makes it valuable. I began in information technology decades ago, working across telecommunications, software, medical, real estate, finance, and aviation sectors before earning my nursing degree and bringing that clinical lens back into healthcare technology.

Most Healthcare IT professionals come from one side or the other — they either understand the technology or they understand the clinical workflow. I understand both. As a Registered Nurse who has personally experienced the frustrations and possibilities of EHR systems at the bedside, and as an IT professional who has supported Epic Go Live initiatives and enterprise-wide workstation migrations, I can translate meaningfully between clinical staff and technology teams.

I’m currently seeking roles in Healthcare IT — particularly in clinical informatics, EHR implementation and support, end user services, and project coordination within health systems. I bring patience, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for making technology work better for the people who deliver care.
