Who we are

Sean's Story

I was with my former employer for nine years so I wasn’t sure I wanted to make the leap – but after a few rounds of interviews at Children’s Mercy I knew this is where I needed to be working. I’m a Modern Workplace Engineer with our Information Systems team. We are responsible for the user experience on every workstation and device at CM. One of the first projects I worked on when I took this role was the Clinical Badge Access (CBA) initiative. When we went “live” with it, I had the privilege of spending time with our frontline staff to evaluate their workflows and it was so fulfilling to see their immediate appreciation of the new process. While our team does not work directly with the patients and families, the decisions we make and the technologies we implement can have an impact on the clinical staff that provide direct patient care. We know that we are all a part of one team and every contribution is valuable. I’m proud to work at Children’s Mercy!
