Role: CDA / C-CDA Data Integration Specialist
Location: Remote
Engagement: Part-Time (10 20 hrs/week)
Duration: 3 6 weeks (possible extension)
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced healthcare interoperability specialist to support a project requiring conversion of flat file data (CSV, TSV, Excel, JSON, etc.) into HL7 CDA and C CDA formats. The ideal candidate will help define the technical approach, build conversion tooling (pipeline or scripts), design validation workflows, and ensure compliance with healthcare data standards. This is a part time consulting engagement with flexible hours, ideal for a subject matter expert who has hands on experience with HL7 standards and healthcare data engineering.
Key Responsibilities
- Solution & Tooling Design Develop the architectural approach for converting flat files into CDA/C CDA documents. Define data mapping models, templates, and transformation logic. Recommend a scalable framework or toolchain (e.g., XSLT, FHIR APIs, HL7 libraries, or custom converters).
- Data Mapping & Standards Compliance Build and maintain mapping between flat file schemas and CDA/C CDA structures. Ensure conformance with HL7 CDA/C CDA implementation guides and templates. Handle clinical vocabularies and coding systems (SNOMED CT, LOINC, ICD 10, RxNorm).
- Development & Implementation Create scripts, modules, or microservices to execute the conversion. Implement transformation logic using best fit technologies (e.g., XML manipulation, model-driven generation, XSLT, Python/Java converters). Ensure output documents are syntactically valid, schema compliant, and semantically accurate.
- Testing & Validation Develop validation rules and automated checks (XML schema validation, HL7 validators). Debug and refine CDA/C CDA outputs. Build test cases and assist integration with downstream systems.
- Documentation & Knowledge Transfer Produce clear documentation for workflows, mapping, and conversion logic. Provide training sessions or walkthroughs to internal teams.
Required Qualifications:
- 5+ years of experience working with HL7 CDA and/or C CDA standards.
- Strong expertise in healthcare interoperability, EMR/EHR schemas, and clinical document structure.
- Experience with XML, XSLT, XPath, and HL7 toolkits.
- Hands on experience converting or mapping data between different formats.
- Familiarity with healthcare terminologies (SNOMED CT, LOINC, ICD 10, RxNorm).
- Strong analytical and problem solving skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with FHIR and modern HL7 frameworks.
- Background in healthcare data engineering or clinical informatics.
- Experience building production grade data transformation pipelines.
- Knowledge of HIPAA-compliant data handling.
Soft Skills
- Strong communication and documentation skills.
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
- Comfortable collaborating with cross functional technical and non technical teams.
