•  Provide staff to onboard new EHR-S and facilities, and to perform quality assurance during the testing process and during production operations.

•  Improve the on-boarding and QA processes to make them even more effective, efficient, and sustainable, with the intent that portions of these processes could be generalized and serve as a template that DPH could copy or extend to other programs/domains.

•  Transition the on-boarding and QA process to the new staff that DPH/Immunization Program selects near the end of the project.

•  Review existing documentation that is provided to EHR-S vendors and facilities as a part of the on-boarding process, including but not limited to the DelVAX HL7 implementation guide.

•  Enhance and/or supplement existing on-boarding documentation as necessary

•  Carefully review HL7 version 2.3.1 and 2.5.1 immunization messages (VXU, VXQ and QBP, and response messages) during each phase of the QA process:

•  Review messages that are submitted by each participating EHR-S vendor when they test their interface with the DelVAX HL7 Web Service. Once the quality of the messages satisfies DPH/Immunization Program criteria, communicate that information to the Immunization Program.

•  Monitor the Production environment to identify facilities that have submitted HL7 messages with errors, and facilities that have unusual increases or decreases in the number of submitted messages.

•  Identify errors in the HL7 messages during each phase of the QA process (which are described above).

•  Ensure that common issues and solutions are published on the appropriate DPH/Immunization Program website.

•  Track and document the errors, utilizing sharepoint.

•  Communicate the errors to the EHR-S vendors and/or facilities that are utilizing the EHR-S. Collaborate with them to identify the cause of the issues and to help resolve the issues.

This position is intended to be a full time role, but if a highly qualified candidate needs to work less than 40 but more than 29 hours per week, this may be accommodated.  Please indicate this in the questions/skills section.
