• Manage interface development using Corepoint, Cloverleaf, Rhapsody, and Oracle Integration Services.
• Lead interface governance, including lifecycle management, vendor coordination, and version control.
• Develop and maintain a centralized interface registry with structured logging, monitoring dashboards, and alerting mechanisms.

Device and Network Readiness

• Direct end-user device selection, deployment, and testing across diverse facility types.
• Conduct physical device walkthroughs and network evaluations using tools such as SCCM, Lansweeper, Ekahau, and SolarWinds.
• Validate bedside medical device integration (BMDI) using HL7 and CareAware iBus.
• Manage wireless topology redesign, RF scans, and VLAN segregation to support WOWs and mobile clinical apps.
• Ensure ergonomic and security compliance for all deployed devices.

Cutover and Data Migration

• Lead structured cutover planning, including mock cutovers, dress rehearsals, and go-live command center operations.
• Oversee demographic and clinical data migration from multiple MEDITECH instances and ancillary systems.
• Develop catch-up file schedules, validation protocols, and rollback procedures.
• Coordinate MPI backloading, data harmonization, and legacy system reconciliation.
• Validate data accuracy through targeted queries, application-level reviews, and clinical acceptance testing.

Governance and Stakeholder Engagement

• Serve as the primary technical liaison to Oracle Health, client leadership, and third-party vendors.
• Participate in Change Control Committee (CCC) and Steering Committee meetings to evaluate technical impacts of scope changes.
• Provide executive-level reporting on technical readiness, risk posture, and milestone progress.
• Support structured governance models for interface ownership, device lifecycle, and infrastructure sustainment.
