Additional Information

The Apelon Terminology Server Administrator works closely with a team supporting the Indian Health Service, Health Information Technology Systems and Support (HITSS) project. The Apelon Terminology Server Administrator works in the development and augmentation of current Apelon-based mechanisms to enable the routine import of medium to large scale edits to Apelon content for any designated terminology using and enhancing, as needed, Terminology Query Language (TQL) based scripts, for example, consistent with the Apelon DB (future state operating procedure).

The ideal candidate seeks input and accept feedback from all team members to enhance understanding of candidate's work impact and meet IHS needs. An understanding of required input, error impact and standardization of processes, as well as the impact of such on the delivery of high-quality work is essential. The ideal candidate is very comfortable deeply applying analytical skills, is creative and typically proactively problem solves. This position desires deep technical understanding and familiarity with healthcare data flow. The team engages with other stakeholders, particularly with the Distributed Terminology System federal lead, other HIT teams, and at times vendor experts. Effective communication is required.
