- Apply and map standardized coding systems such as ICD-10, CPT, LOINC, and SNOMED across disparate source systems.
- Validate data quality and completeness from FHIR APIs, HL7 v2.x interfaces, EHRs, and payer feeds using USCDI-aligned schemas.
- Collaborate with clinical, payer, informatics, and technical teams to define metrics, evaluate program performance, and support regulatory submissions.
- Contribute to ongoing data governance by documenting data definitions, transformation rules, and lineage.
- Maintain thorough documentation of quality checks, rule sets, known issues, and data lineage for governance and audit readiness.
