Our client is looking for a FHIR Integration Specialist to support an active project involving FHIR implementation, configuration, and integration work. This is a hands-on contributor role — ideal for a analyst with foundational FHIR experience who is looking to deepen their expertise on a real-world healthcare interoperability project. You'll work under the guidance of senior architects and product leads, contributing to FHIR server setup, EHR integration tasks, and standards-aligned configuration.
Key Responsibilities:
• Advise on the setup, configuration, and deployment of FHIR servers (e.g., HAPI FHIR, Microsoft FHIR Server, or Smile CDR) under the direction of senior team members.
• Implement FHIR resources and profiles aligned to HL7 FHIR R4, SMART on FHIR, and US Core specifications.
• Contribute to data mapping and transformation tasks for clinical interoperability use cases. EHR Integration
• Support integration work with EHR systems (e.g., Epic, Cerner, Meditech, Athena) to enable FHIR-based data exchange.
• Help build and test workflows for patient access, provider data entry, and backend data synchronization.
• Troubleshoot integration issues and document configurations for handoff. Collaboration & Documentation
• Work closely with internal engineers, product managers, and architects to deliver assigned FHIR-related tasks.
• Produce clear technical documentation for implementations, test cases, and integration patterns.
• Participate in code reviews, stand-ups, and sprint planning. Compliance & Security Support
• Follow established practices for HIPAA, Wolters Kluwer security standards, and applicable data privacy regulations.
• Assist with OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect configuration for secure FHIR endpoint access (senior guidance available).
• Support the conversion of NHSN(CMS) required compliance FHIR endpoints
Requirements (years of experience, educational background, technical skills, etc.):
• 1–3 years of hands-on experience with HL7 FHIR (R4) in a development, integration, or implementation capacity.
• Working knowledge of RESTful APIs, JSON, and XML.
• Familiarity with common FHIR resources such as Patient, Encounter, Observation, Orders, and Medications.
• Exposure to healthcare data standards and terminologies (e.g., LOINC, SNOMED, ICD-10) — deep expertise not required.
• Basic understanding of OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect concepts.
• Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn from senior team members.
