The System Data Integrations Analyst is responsible for maintaining the accuracy, integrity, and usability of enterprise item master and integrated system data that supports procurement, charging, charting, and financial reporting workflows. This role ensures that item data is structured, categorized, and configured correctly across ERP and downstream systems so that clinical, operational, and financial processes function as intended.

The Analyst applies working knowledge of item master governance, spend categorization, unit-of-measure structures, and charging vs. charting logic to maintain compliant and revenue‑accurate system integrations. This role plays a critical operational control function by preventing mis‑classified spend, incorrect patient charges, revenue leakage, and system rejections caused by incorrect data alignment.

The position operates within established data governance standards and collaborates closely with Supply Chain, Finance, Clinical, Revenue Cycle, and IT partners.

The System Data Integrations Analyst serves as a key operational steward for Workday Item Master governance, ensuring item data is accurate, standardized, and configured to support procurement, clinical, financial, and downstream system integrations.

• Maintain Workday as the system of record for item master data, ensuring item attributes, categorization, and system flags are intentionally configured and not passively accepted from supplier feeds or external files.
• Enforce standardized item naming conventions that prioritize form and function, readability, and enterprise usability over supplier branding, while adhering to Workday system constraints.
• Assign and maintain accurate Spend Categories and Purchase Item Groups, recognizing these attributes drive financial posting, budget alignment, reporting, and charge code integration.
• Understand, configure, and validate charging versus charting logic, ensuring:
• Chargeable items are correctly identified to support appropriate revenue capture
• Non chargeable but chart required items are properly passed to clinical systems and patient records
• Incorrect patient charging and revenue leakage are proactively prevented
• Maintain accurate packaging structures and units of measure (UOM) so item setup aligns with ordering, inventory, consumption, pricing, and charge quantity logic.
• Support integration readiness and exception management, identifying item master configurations that may cause downstream integration failures, CDM "TBD" statuses, charge rejections, or reporting inaccuracies.
• Document item setup decisions, exceptions, and resolutions to support audit readiness, revenue integrity reviews, system upgrades, and ongoing Workday stabilization efforts.
• Collaborate cross functionally with Supply Chain, Finance, Revenue Integrity, Clinical, and IT stakeholders to resolve item master governance issues within defined standards and escalation paths.

This role executes governance within established enterprise frameworks and applies analytical judgment to non standard scenarios, while not owning enterprise architecture or independently defining system strategy.

• Maintain robust, standardized naming conventions that balance accuracy, readability, and system constraints, recognizing that supplier‑provided descriptions often emphasize branding rather than function.
• Research, validate, and onboard new products into the item master, ensuring appropriate form, function, and usage…
