Design and maintain mapping logic from proprietary and standard source formats (HL7 v2, EDI, flat file, EHR extracts) to FHIR US Core-compliant representations. Lead OMOP CDM transformation work: translate FHIR-mapped clinical data into OMOP standard vocabularies and domain tables (Person, Visit, Condition, Drug, Measurement, Observation) to support research and population health analytics use cases. Build and maintain vocabulary mapping assets (ICD-to-SNOMED, CPT-to-SNOMED, LOINC, RxNorm) required for OMOP conformance and cross-study comparability. Collaborate with the analytics and data science team to ensure OMOP-structured data is properly exposed for cohort definition, quality measurement, and ML feature engineering.
