The SQL Database Engineer II is responsible for extracting, transforming, and validating clinical and administrative data from ambulatory EHR/EMR systems to support CMS MIPS and Value-Based Care reporting. The role requires strong expertise in SQL, HL7, CCDA, FHIR, EDI 837/835, EMR database schemas, and data pipeline engineering to ensure accurate, secure, and audit-ready regulatory submissions.
Responsibilities
- Extract, transform, and validate patient clinical data from EMR/EHR systems using HL7 v2.x, CCDA, and FHIR bundles.
- Interpret HL7 segments (PID, PV1, ORC, OBR, OBX, DG1, RXA, etc.) for clinical measure mapping.
- Troubleshoot inconsistent or malformed HL7 messages and resolve data quality gaps with vendors.
- Build robust parsing logic to normalize data across heterogeneous EMR systems.
EMR/EHR Database Querying & Measure Data Retrieval
- Query EMR databases (NextGen, eCW, Greenway, Athena, etc.) to extract structured and unstructured clinical data required for MIPS measures.
- Understand vendor-specific table schemas, metadata dictionaries, and proprietary data models.
- Translate measure specifications into SQL logic based on CMS MIPS calculation rules.
- Validate measure completeness, timeliness, and accuracy prior to client submission.
Technical Standards, Architecture Alignment & Governance
- Maintain and enforce engineering implementation standards, documentation requirements, and build methodologies.
- Ensure all engineering work aligns with defined solution architecture, technology standards, and security baselines.
- Lead efforts to improve standard configurations, automation, templates, and reusable frameworks.
- Ensure engineering quality and consistency through audits, peer reviews, and structured validation.
Data Pipeline Engineering & Transformation
- Build scalable ingestion pipelines using SQL, Spark (batch & streaming), Python, Databricks, EMR, or OCI Data Flow.
- Develop metadata-driven pipelines supporting multiple clients and EMR platforms.
- Implement data quality frameworks (DQ checks, thresholds, reconciliation reports).
