Senior Health Informaticist

We're looking for a Senior Health Informaticist to accomplish our mission to improve lives by learning from the experience of every cancer patient. Here's what you need to know about the role, our team and why Flatiron Health is the right next step in your career.

What You'll Do

In this role, you'll provide domain expertise to guide the design and implementation of Flatiron’s data interoperability capabilities. Your contributions will help to accelerate Flatiron’s ability to meet regulatory requirements for OncoEMR and to develop data driven solutions for Community Oncology Practitioners.

This position will partner closely with Engineering and Product teams to build and validate standards-compliant data exchange capabilities, including prioritizing development work and identifying and mitigating areas of uncertainty and risk. In addition, you'll also:

• Collaborate with informaticists, clinical subject matter experts, designers, and engineers to improve data flows and data structures to support data exchange requirements
• Partner with product management to identify interoperability use cases and clarify their value to our practices and patients
• Identify appropriate strategies to test and validate data exchange capabilities, including data-sensitive functionality and semantic translations
• Clarify the What and the Why of FHIR and potentially other interoperability standards and their nuances to cross-functional teams, including team leads and implementers 
• Proactively identify and highlight opportunities for informatics involvement early in product development 
• Maintain active involvement in industry groups (EHRA, AMIA, HL7, etc.) to identify emerging best practices and bring to Flatiron opportunities for transformative changes 

The Health Informatics team is responsible for improving the integrity and use of patients’ health data with a focus on the point of care by leveraging and applying industry standards. Utilizing such standards, the team works from ingestion through the end-user experience to ensure safe, effective, and accurate transmission of healthcare data. 

Who You Are

You are an Informaticist with a deep understanding of EHR development, interoperability, logical data modeling, and/or clinical decision support. You likely have a clinical background with strong technical ability. You are able to work effectively in a highly cross-functional environment. You have a passion for healthcare data, are kind and collaborative, and are excited to help improve and expand data interoperability at an EHR. 

• You have 5+ years of informatics experience, including implementations of standards-based interoperability capabilities, preferably FHIR
• You have the ability to translate standards and interoperability concepts to an audience of non-informaticists (engineers, clinicians)
• You have an understanding of healthcare related data elements
• You understand the industry landscape and challenges, and how interoperability standards are evolving to help address them  
• You have excellent command of technology to allow deep understanding of data
• You are self-motivated and able to identify areas of opportunity and deliver high-value contributions 

Extra Credit

• You have clinical data translation experience (i.e. laboratory, genomic, or other)
• You have an understanding of oncology-specific data elements
• You have strong ties to industry informatics groups (AMIA, HIMSS, HL7, etc.) 
• You have a clinical background (MD/DO, NP, PA, etc.)

 If this sounds like you, you'll fit right in at Flatiron.
