The position holder will be responsible for understanding Epic Bridges architecture, new features, forms and functions as well as help implement FHIR platform.

Integration – responsible for the operation of the application and device data interface tool set (interface engines) and environment; as well as the operation of the application and device data interfaces through the use of the integration toolset (interface engines) and standards such as HL7, X12, and DICOM, and open system scripting / job control.

Application data interfaces are used to connect applications at the data transaction level, usually in real-time. Sharing data electronically eliminates redundant entry of source data and reduces the opportunity for keying errors.

Device data interfaces are used to capture vital signs and other bio-data from patient monitoring medical devices and transfer that data into the EHR for review and recording in real-time.

This reduces the effort required to record data as well as the opportunity for keying errors.
