- Design, build, and support Epic Bridges interfaces and related interoperability workflows, including vendor interfaces connected to Epic.
- Perform message analysis, mapping, and troubleshooting for common HL7 message types (ADT, MDM, ORM, ORU, SIU, DFT, etc.), X12/EDI and resolve interface failures independently.
- Translate clinical/business requirements into HL7 mappings and integration specifications; create and maintain interface specs, mapping documents, diagrams and support guides.
- Perform Epic-side build/configuration changes in Bridges required to enable or modify interfaces.
- Support Epic upgrade cycles, including Nova Notes review, regression testing, and end-to-end validation.
- Monitor interface queues and transaction logs for errors/latency; coordinate remediation and communicate status and impact to non-technical stakeholders.
- Ensure data exchange complies with HIPAA and organizational security standards; support secure connectivity patterns as required.
