Description

Background Information:

• The Data Collection Information System (DCIS) FHIR Implementation Guide (DCIS IG) acts as the specification for the FHIR API and data model that powers the DCIS system (Data Collection Information System). However, for future DCIS releases the DCIS IG represents a central artefact that guides the implementation of new functionality. Without it the DCIS cannot make enhancements to its data collection model. The DCIS IG is currently hosted under a third-party (Simplifier) site and needs to be migrated over to the Ontario Health digital health standards repositories.
• The Ontario Health Digital Health Standards team (DHS) requires temporary staff augmentation to transition the DCIS IG to Ontario Health controlled repositories.
• This requisition seeks the services of a specialized consultant, experienced in digital health interoperability standards, to complete the migration of the DCIS IG from the third-party repository to the Ontario Health repository.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct requirements gathering, develops documentation, including presentations and briefing notes and conducts partner engagement.
• Work with different partners and subject matter experts from different backgrounds (clinical, business, and technical).
• Interact with the business partners and subject matter experts in order to understand their requirements through gathering, documenting, and analyzing business needs and requirements.
• Develop and document HL7 FHIR artifacts and supporting documentation.
• Validate, troubleshoot, and problem solve the HL7 FHIR artifacts.

Desired Skills:

• Hands-on experience with HL7 FHIR Structured Data Capture (SDC).
• Familiarity with Microsoft Products, with a preference for candidates that have experience with Microsoft based cloud tools (e.g., Microsoft Office 365).
