Senior EHR Integration Specialist

CoverMyMeds•Columbus, OH

About The Position

McKesson is seeking a Senior EHR Integration Specialist to design and deliver secure, scalable, repeatable integrations between its healthcare platform and external electronic health record (EHR) and electronic medical record (EMR) systems. This hands-on senior individual-contributor role combines software engineering, healthcare interoperability, and integration architecture. The specialist will lead production integration of SMART on FHIR applications into Epic clinical workflows and establish reusable patterns for Epic and other EHR environments. The role independently evaluates complex integration needs, makes technical recommendations, writes and reviews implementation code, and carries initiatives through production delivery with limited supervision. It serves as a technical authority across Engineering, Product, Security, Identity and Access Management, Compliance, and Operations. Success includes delivering production integrations, establishing reusable architectures and implementation standards, reducing manual onboarding through reusable components and automation, and completing cross-functional initiatives. McKesson offers a competitive compensation package. The stated base pay range is $120,000–$200,000; other compensation, such as an annual bonus or long-term incentive opportunities, may also be offered. Compensation is determined by factors including performance, experience, skills, equity, market evaluations, and geography.

Experience supporting large-scale or multitenant healthcare technology platforms.
Experience with HIPAA and related security, compliance, or audit-control frameworks.
Experience using AI-assisted development or automation tools to improve integration engineering, testing, documentation, or implementation efficiency.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, test, and support production integrations with external EHR systems.
Lead the integration of SMART on FHIR applications into Epic clinical workflows, including context-aware launches using patient, encounter, and user context.
Develop FHIR R4 integrations for clinical and administrative data exchange and configure OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect authentication flows aligned with SMART on FHIR requirements.
Translate integration requirements into working code, reusable components, implementation assets, and production-ready solutions; troubleshoot launch, authentication, authorization, API access, data exchange, and performance issues.
Create reference architectures using FHIR, HL7, SMART on FHIR, and CDS Hooks for healthcare application integration and clinical decision-support workflows.
Design secure, maintainable, reusable integration patterns across practices, health systems, and EHR platforms; recommend approaches involving APIs, FHIR servers, middleware, translation layers, orchestration, event management, and monitoring.
Establish standards for data mapping, normalization, validation, and semantic interoperability, and design architectures that use FHIR services to support interoperability between EHRs and downstream applications.
Develop roadmaps and implementation approaches that reduce reliance on one-off integrations.
Build reusable templates, scripts, mappings, and components to reduce manual practice-onboarding work; identify and implement workflow automation opportunities.
Improve onboarding repeatability, reliability, and scalability while preserving data integrity and compliance; apply approved AI-enabled engineering tools and automation where they improve efficiency.
Evaluate integration outcomes and refine patterns based on production experience.
Define integration requirements involving HIPAA, OAuth 2.0, role-based access control, data privacy, and secure access to clinical information.
Partner with Security, Identity and Access Management, Product, Compliance, Engineering, and Operations to deliver secure and auditable solutions.
Create and maintain reference architectures, sequence diagrams, data mappings, implementation guides, integration designs, and operational runbooks that support implementation, audit readiness, operations, and reuse.
Recommend monitoring and observability approaches for integration health and production performance.
Serve as a subject-matter expert for EHR integration, SMART on FHIR, FHIR architecture, and healthcare interoperability.
Make integration recommendations based on prior production experience, independently organize work, manage cross-team dependencies, and bring initiatives to closure.
Participate in technical and business discussions across teams and translate decisions into executable integration plans.
Influence architecture, engineering practices, and technical direction without formal people-management responsibility; provide technical guidance to engineers and implementation partners.
