- 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
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- Required: 5+ years hands-on Epic Bridges interface development and production support in a healthcare environment (Bridges certification required; hands-on build/support).
- Required: 5+ years hands-on HL7 v2.x development and production support using Cloverleaf, InterSystems Ensemble, or Rhapsody in a healthcare environment.
- Required: Expert-level Bridges and interface engine experience with ability to independently deliver new interfaces from initial requirements gathering to building, testing, production deployment, and post deployment support.
- Expert-level knowledge and proven experience in building ADT, SIU, ORM, ORU, MDM, DFT, RDE, MFN and X12/EDI interfaces.
- Ability to independently troubleshoot and resolve Integration Engine failures without direct supervision.
- Experience performing Epic-side build changes to enable or modify interfaces.
- Experience supporting vendor interfaces connected to Epic and supporting Epic upgrade cycles (Nova Notes review and regression testing).
- Prior work supporting live hospital or large multi-facility health system integrations in a live Epic environment.
- Extensive knowledge of how Epic Bridges and Integration Engine interact during message flow and error scenarios.
- Epic Bridges certification (required); Epic Data Courier certification (preferred/strong plus).
