Interface Integration Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for interface development, enhancements and integration support of PatientSafe's unique wireless barcode point of care hardware and software solution.
• Developed and maintained HL7/XML interfaces to process inbound/outbound messaging requests for patient medication, blood products administration, lab specimen, vitals collection, clinical observations, follow-ups and administrative charting. Worked directly with employees and hospital personnel to resolve interface issues based on clinical workflow changes and enhancements.
• Management and technical support for a successful integration with AllScripts Sunrise Clinical Manager (EMR) for patient vitals. This was accomplished via a custom interface solution developed with the input of the R&D department which utilized a JAVA FTP service to batch process both inbound/outbound patient vitals. SOAP and RESTful web service integration was also developed to communicate between AllScripts Sunrise Clinical Manager (EMR) and Confidential services.
• Management and technical support for a successful integration with MirthConnect as a replacement candidate for Cloverleaf . The MirthConnect interface processes patient admissions (ADT), pharmacy medication orders (RDE), administrative charting (RAS) and observations (ORU) - with follow-on work for batch processing of inbound clinical documentation from CERNER Millennium Objects.
• Worked closely with team members, network technicians and system support specialists to resolve system as well as interface related challenges - including reconfiguring and monitoring interface services, providing email alerts when interface services are not functioning properly, as well as starting and restarting interface services. Provided technical support and training to employees for interface system recovery.
• Performed MySQL database queries to understand the relationship between patient related data, as well as to confirm correct table population for associated patient information - (i.e. hospital facility admissions, units, rooms, beds, medication taken/give, interventions, clinical observations, charting, lab results, demographics, transfers, discharge). Understanding these relationships were key at times to correctly filter and transform patient message data as it flowed between medical system interfaces. For regression testing, MySQL tables needed to be periodically re-created and populated to confirm that inbound and outbound messaging across interfaces worked correctly.
