Job Title: Technical SME/Architect – MEDITECH Data Migration

Location: Remote

This is a senior technical expert (SME/Architect) role where the person will extract data from old MEDITECH hospital systems (which run on MUMPS) and move it into SQL Server. They ll also help design and build a new archival application using InterSystems IRIS, so healthcare organizations can store, validate, and use legacy patient/clinical data more effectively.

Why It's Important

  • Hospitals using MEDITECH have a ton of old patient and clinical records stuck in legacy systems.

  • This role ensures those records are accurately migrated ( 99% accuracy) into modern databases.

  • Without this, healthcare providers risk data loss, compliance issues, and limited access to patient history.

Main Responsibilities

  1. Data Migration: Build tools to pull data out of MEDITECH (structured + unstructured like PDFs, images) and load into SQL Server.

  2. Validation: Check record counts, totals, and field-level accuracy.

  3. Data Mapping: Figure out how MEDITECH tables/fields relate to each other (since documentation is poor).

  4. Automation: Reduce manual effort by building automation for extraction and mapping.

  5. Archival Solution: Design a scalable archival system with InterSystems IRIS that multiple hospitals can use.

  6. Collaboration: Work with hospital IT teams to troubleshoot missing or misclassified data.

Must-Have Skills

  • Deep experience with MEDITECH systems (both end-user workflows and backend setup/support).

  • Strong understanding of MEDITECH modules (Administrative + Clinical).

  • Knowledge of MUMPS programming & architecture (the language/database MEDITECH runs on).

  • Hands-on with InterSystems IRIS/Cache (to handle hierarchical data).

  • Strong SQL Server skills for data design, validation, and schema mapping.

  • Healthcare data compliance (HL7, FHIR, security standards).

The Ideal Candidate

Think of someone who has:

  • 8 15+ years in healthcare IT.

  • Already worked on MEDITECH migrations/implementations.

  • Can bridge clinical workflows and technical backend knowledge.

  • Knows both MUMPS (old tech) and SQL/IRIS (modern tech).
