About The Position

Bring your expertise in data architecture, management, and governance to help Washington health and human services organizations share information more effectively, creating a more connected system of care. In this role, you'll bring people together, from state partners to health and social service providers, to design and improve how care coordination data is exchanged. Your work will support collaboration, innovation, and better outcomes for the individuals and families we serve. This program is on the leading edge of national efforts for Community Information Exchange (CIE) and will make it easier for Washingtonians to navigate and access community-based services. All HCA employees will apply an equity lens to their work, which may include but is not limited to all analyses of core business and processes. About the division Located within the Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) division, this position supports the CIE Program at HCA, a program established in support of Washington's current Medicaid Section 1115 Waiver, known as the Medicaid Transformation Project 2.0 (MTP 2.0). The CIE Program is designed to improve the coordination and delivery of health-related social needs (HRSN) services (nutrition, housing, transportation, etc.) to meet the immediate and long-term needs of delivering community-based services to Apple Health clients. The CIE Program will implement state-supported CIE technology (e.g., care management, resource directory, closed-loop referral) and integrate or aggregate data from existing CIE investments into a statewide data system. About the position: This position provides technical leadership for the Statewide CIE, overseeing the development and implementation of standards and technology for HRSN data exchange, as well as ongoing monitoring and governance. This position plays a key role in ensuring that HRSN data exchange effectively supports care coordination, while maintaining the privacy and integrity of client information. The role collaborates with business and technical leaders across HCA, state agencies, health and social service providers, and vendors to ensure interoperability. In particular, this role collaborates with and directs the work of the CIE Lead Organization (LO) vendor team that will implement the Statewide CIE. Reporting to the CIE Program Manager, the role also coordinates closely with architecture and technology staff across Washington's IT ecosystem, including the State Enterprise Architect, HHS Coalition Architecture Review Board, and other architecture teams. This position is eligible to telework full-time but is occasionally required to travel or report on-site to meet business need. The default assigned work location of all Health Care Authority (HCA) positions - both on-site and telework eligible positions - is within the State of Washington.
