OverviewThe Senior Product Manager for PGHD Field Testing will play a pivotal role in advancing the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) use of Patient-Generated Health Data to enhance Veteran care.
Reporting to the Senior Program Manager for PGHD, this position leads national pilots and technical field testing initiatives for PGHD solutions-including connected devices, mobile applications, and data integration tools.
Field testing efforts are explicitly designed to evaluate and enhance application functionality, data workflows, and system architecture, ensuring future scalability and interoperability within the VA's Digital Health Platform.
This role does not perform implementation or deployment into production systems; instead, it focuses on validating product design, architecture, and user experience to inform enterprise readiness.
This position will be a fully remote position located in the United States.
Responsibilities- Lead PGHD Field Testing Initiatives
Plan, execute, and oversee field testing of PGHD technologies-including mobile apps, wearables, and data ingestion tools-to assess performance, interoperability, and architectural fit within VA's digital health ecosystem. - Architectural and Product Feedback Loop
Drive the technical validation of PGHD solutions by coordinating test data flow, system performance metrics, and integration pathways; provide structured feedback to development and engineering teams for continuous improvement of application and architectural design. - Apply PGHD Frameworks and Best Practices
Utilize VA's PGHD Best Practices Decision-Making Framework and PGHD Operations Manual to guide testing through usability, data fidelity, workflow impact, and technical integration criteria. - Collaborate Across Clinical and Technical Teams
Work closely with OCC, DHO, and engineering teams to ensure alignment between field testing outcomes, system design requirements, and digital health architecture standards. - Collect and Translate User and Technical Feedback
Capture both end-user (Veteran/clinician) and technical (developer/engineer) feedback to drive iterative product enhancement and architectural optimization. - Integrate PGHD with Data Systems for Testing
Coordinate with data architects to verify accurate data transformation, mapping, and transmission within controlled environments; ensure compliance with data provenance and interoperability standards. - Develop Training and Support Materials
Create technical user guides, configuration documentation, and test site onboarding materials that support evaluation activities without crossing into production support. - Evaluate Results and Inform Design Decisions
Aggregate test findings to recommend refinements to application design, user interface, and data architecture; summarize lessons learned to inform enterprise readiness and system scalability plans. - Coordinate with VA Prosthetics and Sensory Aids Service
Engage with the national VA Prosthetics and Sensory Aids Service to align PGHD device procurement, distribution, and inventory management with field testing requirements. Support coordination of device availability, replacement, and lifecycle management, ensuring pilot activities comply with VA acquisition and equipment oversight standards. Collaborate with Prosthetics leadership, field staff, and Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to synchronize efforts across clinical, technical, and operational domains. Participate in IPT planning and reviews to ensure PGHD device testing and data workflows align with enterprise acquisition, security, and interoperability priorities. Contribute data and findings from field tests to inform future device selection, scaling strategies, and IPT decision-making processes.
- Coordinate with VA Communications Teams
Collaborate with the VA Office of Connected Care communications staff and facility Public Affairs Officers to develop and disseminate clear, consistent messaging on PGHD initiatives and field tests. Support creation of Veteran-facing materials, clinician toolkits, and internal communications that promote pilot awareness, enrollment, and sustained engagement across participating sites. Ensure communication strategies reflect VA branding, accessibility, and health literacy standards.
All coordination with VA program offices (e.g., Prosthetics and Sensory Aids Service, OCC Communications) will occur within the context of PGHD field testing and pilot activities only, to inform application and architectural enhancement, not production implementation.
QualificationsBachelor's with 12+ years (or commensurate experience)
Required Skills and Experience- Education: Master's degree in Nursing, Social Work, Health Informatics, Public Health, or related field.
- Experience:
- Demonstrated leadership in PGHD programs, digital health pilots, or connected device evaluations within VA or similar healthcare systems.
- Proven ability to coordinate technical validation and testing of digital health solutions, ensuring alignment with architectural and interoperability standards.
- Strong understanding of FHIR APIs, data exchange protocols, and clinical system architecture principles.
- Experience working within Agile or hybrid project teams, managing backlog refinement and iterative testing.
- Technical Skills: Familiarity with JIRA, Power BI, data flow modeling, and systems documentation.
- Certifications: Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt or equivalent process improvement credential; Agile Product Owner or PMP preferred.
Clearance: Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance.
Preferred Skills and Experience- Strong collaborator able to navigate both technical and clinical domains.
- Skilled in synthesizing field, user, and system data into actionable recommendations.
- Passionate about building Veteran-centered digital solutions through evidence-based testing and technical rigor.
