What You’ll Do
- Lead end-to-end project management for the Integrations Workstream, including scope definition, detailed workplans, risk and issue management, and executive-level status reporting.
- Manage and coordinate integrations using HL7, FHIR, APIs, and file-based interfaces connecting the EHR to lab systems, pharmacy, billing, patient portals, and third-party vendors.
- Develop and maintain comprehensive integration inventories, interface tracking logs, and testing matrices to ensure complete coverage of all integration touchpoints.
- Facilitate interface discovery and design sessions with department leaders, IT architects, and vendor integration teams to identify dependencies and technical requirements.
- Oversee interface build, testing, validation, and go-live activation in close partnership with the EHR vendor, with a strong preference for athenahealth environments.
- Collaborate with Data Conversion, Clinical Informatics, and Infrastructure workstreams to manage and resolve cross-functional integration dependencies.
- Manage third-party integration vendors, ensuring adherence to timelines, SLAs, and quality standards.
- Develop integration go-live readiness checklists, cutover plans, runbooks, and hypercare support models.
- Track, triage, and resolve interface defects identified during SIT, UAT, parallel testing, and post–go-live support.
- Provide clear dashboards, progress updates, and escalation reporting to program leadership and governance committees.
What You’ll Bring
- Proven experience managing integrations across multiple enterprise-scale EHR migrations or implementations, with at least three large-scale EHR transitions completed.
- Five or more years of technical project management experience in healthcare IT, with a strong emphasis on EHR integrations.
- Deep knowledge of healthcare interoperability standards, including HL7 v2.x, HL7 FHIR (R4), CDA, and RESTful APIs.
- Hands-on experience working with interface engines such as Mirth Connect, Rhapsody, Iguana, or Azure Integration Services.
- Demonstrated success managing complex, multi-vendor integration environments with 50 or more active interfaces.
- Experience developing and executing integration testing strategies, including SIT, UAT, regression, and parallel testing.
- Proficiency with project management tools such as MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira, or similar platforms.
- Strong communication, analytical, and stakeholder management skills across both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Athenahealth (athenaOne) integration experience, including familiarity with APIs, documentation, and vendor coordination processes, strongly preferred.
