Location: U.S. locations – remote/hybrid.  Candidates within commuting distance of a Wolters Kluwer office will be considered for hybrid employment. Candidates not within commuting distances will be considered for remote employment.

Summary

The Senior Principal Clinical Content – Physician is a senior physician leader and individual contributor responsible for developing, structuring, and operationalizing high‑quality, workflow‑integrated clinical decision support (CDS) content. This role builds on hands‑on clinical content and decision‑tree authoring responsibilities, with expanded accountability for close coordination with clinical informatics, engineering, and editorial partners to ensure CDS content is accurate, computable, and scalable.

In addition to translating evidence‑based clinical guidance into structured, actionable clinical logic, this role provides advanced support for informatics alignment, tooling improvements, and selective AI‑enabled workflow enhancements. The incumbent plays a key role in supporting the integration of CDS content into downstream platforms, including third‑party and EHR‑integrated environments, while maintaining strong fidelity to editorial intent and patient‑safety principles.

The ideal candidate is a physician with excellent clinical reasoning skills, experience structuring clinical decision logic, and formal training or demonstrated experience in clinical informatics, tooling, and workflow optimization within a collaborative, cross‑functional environment.

Responsibilities

Clinical Content Architecture & Decision Logic

• Create or substantially revise CDS content.
• Translate draft CDS content into complete, high‑fidelity decision trees using the proprietary no‑code authoring platform.
• Design and program complex clinical logic, branching conditions, clinical text, actions, and order concepts.
• Ensure decision pathways are clinically safe, logically consistent, and optimized for real‑world clinician workflows.
• Review structured content for downstream computability, reuse, and interoperability.

Editorial & Informatics Coordination

• Serve as a primary liaison between the editorial team and the clinical informatics team.
• Help align editorial intent with informatics standards, data models, and naming conventions.
• Partner with informatics stakeholders to improve consistency, reusability, and scalability of structured CDS components.
• Contribute to governance discussions related to clinical logic standards, authoring conventions, and quality assurance.

AI‑Enabled Automation & Workflow Optimization

• Collaborate with engineering and informatics teams to design and implement AI‑assisted workflows that enhance editorial efficiency and content quality.
• Participate in supervised use of generative AI and other automation tools to support drafting, structuring, validation, and maintenance of CDS content.
• Evaluate opportunities to reduce manual effort, improve turnaround time, and enhance content scalability while maintaining editorial and patient‑safety rigor.

Engineering Partnership & Tool Enablement

• Act as a senior clinical partner to engineering teams developing authoring tools, CDS platforms, and integration services.
• Report, reproduce, and help triage software issues affecting content creation and deployment.
• Validate fixes and enhancements with clinical and informatics context.
• Provide structured feedback to guide roadmap decisions related to CDS authoring, automation, and deployment.

External Integration & EHR Enablement

• Support integration of workflow‑integrated CDS into EHR systems via collaboration with internal platform teams and external partners.
• Ensure CDS logic and outputs are compatible with third‑party deployment requirements and clinical workflows.
• Assist in translating editorial and informatic requirements into implementable CDS artifacts for external consumption.

Required Qualifications

• Medical degree (MD or DO) with clinical experience.
• Demonstrated ability to translate clinical reasoning into structured decision logic and computable formats.
• Strong attention to detail with a patient‑safety‑first mindset.
• Comfort working with proprietary software tools and complex technical workflows.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with clinical, informatics, and engineering stakeholders.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background or formal training in clinical informatics.
• Experience with clinical decision support systems, pathways, or algorithmic content development.
• Familiarity with clinical data and terminology standards (e.g., SNOMED CT, LOINC, ICD).
• Experience supporting CDS deployment or integration within EHR environments.
• Prior exposure to AI‑assisted content workflows or automation initiatives in healthcare.
