Responsibilities

Healthcare Data Integration Architecture

• Analyze current and future-state computer system capabilities, integration requirements, and workflow needs to establish architecture standards and technical specifications for Athena and other practice management solutions.
• Design, document, and implement future-state computer system architectures and integration approaches for existing and new technology ecosystems.
• Perform systems analysis with product, clinical, operational, and technology stakeholders to define integration requirements and maintain the interoperability roadmap for athenaOne, Marketplace applications, and third-party systems.
• Translate organizational strategy, clinical priorities, and user requirements into executable technical designs for integrations, automation, application configuration, and data enablement capabilities.
• Evaluate Athena Health features, Marketplace offerings, APIs, and interoperability standards to determine required system design, configuration, testing, and implementation approaches.
• Design scalable, maintainable integration solutions that support system reliability, performance, security, and long-term platform modification needs.
• Identify automation opportunities and design the technical modifications, application configurations, and integration logic needed to improve system efficiency and effectiveness.
• Design and govern end-to-end healthcare data integration architectures using HL7 v2, FHIR, and RESTful APIs.
• Define integration patterns for real-time, near-real-time, and batch data exchange across Athena Health, Marketplace apps, and third-party systems.
• Ensure consistent handling of patient identity, encounters, clinical events, orders, results, and claims data.

Athena Health, Marketplace & Third‑Party Integrations

• Architect integrations using Athena Health APIs, Marketplace‑supported interfaces, and standards-based messaging.
• Design and oversee HL7-based integrations for clinical and operational workflows where applicable.
• Lead FHIR-based integration strategies for modern interoperability, data access, and third-party enablement to improve patient and clinician experience.
• Evaluate when to use native Athena interfaces vs. Marketplace apps vs. external API/FHIR integrations to deliver scalable solutions.
• Ensure integrations are resilient, observable, and support retry, reconciliation, and auditing.

Product Roadmap & Strategy

• Develop and maintain technical roadmaps for integration, interoperability, application architecture, and data platform capabilities based on systems analysis, user requirements, and platform performance needs.
• Apply advanced knowledge of computer systems, application architecture, healthcare interoperability standards, and data exchange methods to design solutions that meet business, clinical, regulatory, security, and operational requirements.
• Evaluate vendor platforms, EMR capabilities, and healthcare technology ecosystems from a technical architecture perspective, including interface options, API functionality, interoperability constraints, system performance, and implementation feasibility.

Qualifications

• Proven experience performing systems analysis, application architecture, integration design, technical documentation, testing, implementation, and modification of computer systems and enterprise applications.
• Strong understanding of application lifecycle management, software implementation methods, systems governance frameworks, security requirements, and regulatory compliance.
• Demonstrated expertise designing and modifying large-scale application portfolios, integration platforms, and data exchange solutions to support enterprise technology requirements.
• Experience designing, configuring, testing, and implementing automation technologies, application workflows, and system integrations in a business or healthcare technology environment.
• In-depth knowledge of application architecture, interoperability standards, integration engines, APIs, data structures, analytics platforms, and system performance considerations.
• Proven track record of leading technical solution design and system implementation efforts from requirements analysis through testing, deployment, monitoring, and post-implementation optimization.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders to achieve strategic objectives.
• Extensive knowledge of healthcare industry standards, regulations, and compliance requirements, including HIPAA and other relevant healthcare regulations.
