Clinical Informatics Specialist

We are seeking a highly skilled Clinical Informatics Specialist to play a pivotal role in the architecture and development of our canonical data model and transformation framework within the InterSystems ecosystem. Focus areas include data modeling, comprehensive documentation, and validating clinical workflows to ensure real-world clinical alignment.

In this role, you will act as the bridge between clinical experts and technical engineering teams.  You will be responsible for translating clinical needs into product requirements, defining complex data mappings, validating clinical logic, and ensuring our data models adhere to global HIT standards (FHIR, HL7v2, CDA, OMOP, etc.) while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and data privacy.

Key Responsibilities

1. Data Modeling & Transformation Strategy

• Manage the governance of the canonical data model definition and maintenance processes in alignment with product strategy, ensuring it supports diverse clinical domains across the care continuum.
• Design and document detailed logic for data transformations and mappings between various healthcare data standards (e.g., HL7v2, C-CDA, FHIR, X12, OMOP, openEHR).
• Analyze emerging national and international Implementation Guides and regulatory standards, translating them into technical specifications for the engineering team to support future product capabilities.

1. Clinical Terminology Management

• Serve as the subject matter expert on standard terminologies and code sets, (e.g., SNOMED CT, LOINC, ICD-10, CPT/HCPCS, RxNorm).
• Define concept maps and value sets to ensure semantic interoperability across the platform.
• Troubleshoot terminology binding issues that arise during data ingestion or exchange.

1. Clinical Requirements & Translation

• Collaborate with clinical subject matter experts (SMEs) to gather requirements and translate "clinical intent" into precise technical specifications.
• Author functional specifications that allow engineers to build robust interoperability pipelines within InterSystems product suite.
• Act as a translator, explaining complex technical data constraints to clinicians and complex clinical workflows to engineers.

1. Quality Assurance & Safety Validation

• Validate data models and transformation logic to ensure they are clinically sound and accurately reflect the patient story.
• Conduct clinical safety assessments on proposed data structures to identify and mitigate risks related to data loss, misinterpretation, or context stripping.
