• Standardize healthcare data using clinical terminologies and ontologies such as SNOMED CT, LOINC, ICD-10, and RxNorm.
• Design and manage custom value sets to address specialized clinical and research requirements.
• Establish validation frameworks and algorithms that ensure clinical accuracy, consistency, completeness, and longitudinal integrity across data assets.
• Translate complex data architecture and clinical informatics requirements into clear documentation for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborate across teams to improve the usability, interoperability, and reliability of clinical data supporting research and patient-care initiatives.
• Contribute to scalable healthcare data architecture and integration practices as data needs and industry standards evolve.
