- Develop integrations using:
- REST APIs and webhook-driven workflows
- Database log shipping and change data capture (CDC) mechanisms including Microsoft SQL Serverbased systems
- Transform validate and normalize incoming clinical data before loading it into Circadias MySQL and Snowflake environments.
- Ensure pipelines are robust fault-tolerant and capable of handling large data volumes.
- Integrate and manage healthcare data domains including:
- Admissions Discharges Transfers (ADT)
- Conditions medications allergies
- Clinical notes and progress notes
- Vital signs and physiological measurements
- Work with healthcare interoperability standards and protocols such as:
- HL7 v2
- FHIR
- Partner with customer technical teams to support onboarding troubleshooting and ongoing data reliability.
