Standards Development Organization Liaison / Knowledge Management

This role is VA’s point of contact with the outside organizations that write and ballot health data standards. That means sitting in HL7, SNOMED, LOINC and similar workgroups, carrying VA’s position into those discussions, and bringing back what changed and what it actually means for VHA systems and workflows. The other half of the job is knowledge management. Standards work generates a lot of material, implementation guides, mappings, decision records, meeting notes, and most programs lose track of it. This person keeps that content organized, current, and easy for the team to find so the program is not rebuilding the same answer every few months.
