Guidehouse’s Health IT Solutions team works with clients to measurably improve their technology outcomes through a mix of IT strategies, improvement in IT operations, and adoption of technology initiatives. By leveraging a deep understanding of health system IT operational best practices supported by data, Guidehouse propels IT operational improvement and technology adoption across departments and service lines at client organizations. 

The Architect provides cross-cutting design leadership, establishes architectural standards for all technical teams, and ensures that the statewide solution meets long-term operational, clinical, revenue cycle, and regulatory needs. This position does not manage build teams or execute data migration—it governs the architecture that all domain technical leads and engineering teams must follow.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Enterprise Architecture Ownership

• Define and maintain the statewide Oracle Health architecture blueprint, covering application, data, integration, security, and infrastructure layers.
• Establish architecture principles, patterns, guardrails, and decision frameworks for all technical domains.
• Approve solution designs that span multiple systems, vendors, or agencies.
• Provide architectural oversight and ensure alignment across technical leads, integrators, and state IT stakeholders.
• Serve as final escalation point for architectural conflicts or cross-system design challenges.

2. Integration & Interoperability Architecture

• Design the integration reference architecture for Oracle Health and all connected systems, including HIE, public health reporting, labs, pharmacy, behavioral health platforms, and payer systems.
• Define interface standards for HL7v2, FHIR, REST, CCD/CDA, X12/EDI, SFTP, and batch exchange.
• Establish message governance, error handling, retry patterns, monitoring, and audit expectations.
• Ensure interoperability across agencies with differing operational models while maintaining statewide cohesion.
• Provide oversight for biomedical device integration (BMDI), BPAM, pump interoperability, vitals capture, and related device workflows.

3. Cloud, Infrastructure & Performance Architecture

• Define architectural requirements related to OCI hosting, including networking, tenancy, identity, performance, resiliency, and DR/BCP.
• Govern environment strategy at the architectural level, including environment tiers, refresh patterns, and performance engineering criteria.
• Establish standards for observability, logging, monitoring, and event correlation across the enterprise.
• Ensure all infrastructure and cloud decisions align with Commonwealth security and operational mandates.

4. Data Architecture & Quality Oversight

• Define the data architecture needed for Oracle Health, RevElate, HealtheIntent, statewide reporting, and analytics.
• Establish data governance models, semantic standards, and quality expectations required for safe statewide operations.
• Provide architectural oversight of the data migration strategy—ensuring alignment with clinical safety, reporting standards, and future-state data needs.
• Ensure agency-level variation does not compromise enterprise data consistency or integrity.

5. Security & Identity Architecture

• Define enterprise security and identity architecture across all agencies, ensuring alignment with HIPAA, NIST, state cybersecurity policy, and PHI/PII protections.
• Govern IAM, SSO/SAML, OAuth, and user provisioning frameworks across multi-agency user populations.
• Ensure consistent application of security architecture across all integrations, endpoints, devices, and cloud components.
• Drive architectural decisions for audit logging, encryption, segmentation, and threat detection.

6. Architecture Governance & Vendor Coordination

• Lead or co-lead statewide architecture governance forums and enforce compliance with architectural standards.
• Maintain architecture decision records (ADRs) and ensure transparent, traceable design rationale.
• Evaluate vendor proposals and design artifacts for architectural completeness, sustainability, and operational feasibility.
• Collaborate with system integrators, Oracle, state technology teams, and agency stakeholders to ensure architectural consistency across all phases of the program.

What You Will Need:

• Bachelor’s degree

• 7+ years enterprise healthcare architecture experience across complex, multi-entity environments.
• 7+ years experience with Oracle Health Millennium architecture across clinical, ancillary, and interoperability domains.
• Experience with RevElate architecture, including claims flows, charge services, and EDI integration models.
• Strong understanding of OCI hosting models and their architectural implications for Millennium and RevElate.
• Expert knowledge of HL7v2, FHIR, REST, CCD/CDA, and X12/EDI (270/271, 276/277, 278, 835, 837).
• Demonstrated experience architecting large-scale interoperability frameworks across public sector or multi-agency health environments.
• Deep familiarity with BMDI integrations, pharmacy systems, and public health reporting.
• Strong command of cybersecurity architecture, IAM, and regulatory frameworks governing health data.

What Would Be Nice To Have:

• Prior experience in state government, Medicaid environments, state hospitals, or multi-agency health systems.
• Experience with HealtheIntent or large-scale clinical data warehouse design.
• Experience evaluating and governing the work of multiple vendors or integrators.
• Prior leadership of architecture boards, design councils, or enterprise review committees.
