Description

Key Responsibilities

Architecture Strategy & Roadmap

· Define and maintain the target architecture for inpatient video visit capabilities across hospitals and care units.

· Develop multi-year roadmaps aligning virtual care technologies with enterprise digital health strategy.

· Establish architecture principles, standards, and reference models for telehealth platforms.

Solution Design & Integration

· Design end-to-end architectures integrating video visit platforms with:

o Electronic Health Records (EHR)

o Identity and access management (IAM)

o Scheduling and bed management systems

o Patient engagement platforms and portals

o Clinical communication and collaboration tools

· Define interoperability patterns using HL7, FHIR APIs, and event-driven architectures.

· Ensure seamless clinician workflows and patient experiences across bedside devices and care team endpoints.

Vendor Architecture Governance

· Evaluate vendor solutions for architectural fit, scalability, security, and interoperability.

· Establish integration patterns and technical standards for vendor-supported telehealth platforms.

· Guide vendor selection, architecture reviews, and proof-of-concept evaluations.

Security, Privacy & Compliance

· Define secure data flows, encryption standards, and PHI protection controls.

· Collaborate with cybersecurity teams on threat modeling and risk mitigation.

Device & Edge Architecture

· Define standards for bedside devices, mobile carts, tablets, and audiovisual peripherals used in inpatient video visits.

· Ensure device management, network segmentation, and secure connectivity across hospital environments.

· Architect solutions that support infection control, accessibility, and clinical usability.

Cloud & Infrastructure Alignment

· Guide deployment models across on-premises data centers and cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, GCP, AWS).

· Define high-availability, disaster recovery, and resilience strategies for telehealth services.

· Promote infrastructure-as-code and automated provisioning where applicable.

Governance & Standards

· Lead architecture review boards for virtual care initiatives.

· Ensure adherence to enterprise standards for APIs, identity, observability, and data governance.

· Maintain documentation including logical, physical, and integration architecture diagrams.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement

· Partner with clinical leadership, nursing informatics, IT operations, biomedical engineering, and digital product teams.

· Translate clinical needs into scalable architectural solutions.

· Provide technical leadership during major deployments and hospital rollouts.
