Engage clinicians, business owners, application teams, vendors, architecture, privacy, security, operations, and delivery teams to discover needs, validate problems, and align on product decisions.
Translate approved needs into epics, features, user stories, workflow requirements, acceptance criteria, non-functional expectations, and clear definitions of completion.
Assess polling-based integrations and workflows, identify opportunities for event-driven delivery, and prioritize the application changes that provide the greatest clinical and operational value.
Work with architecture and delivery teams to shape features involving FHIR Subscription, SubscriptionTopic, notification workflows, APIs, queues, and downstream application changes, ensuring that product requirements remain technically feasible and testable.
Lead planning, backlog refinement, feature reviews, demonstrations, and acceptance activities so delivery teams understand priorities, intended outcomes, and acceptance expectations.
Manage cross-team dependencies, scope boundaries, assumptions, risks, decision records, and priority trade-offs, escalating unresolved issues with clear options and impacts.
Coordinate release scope, stakeholder validation, business acceptance, operational readiness, privacy and security reviews, communications, and transition activities.
Define product measures for adoption, workflow timeliness, service quality, stakeholder satisfaction, reduction of polling, and other agreed outcomes, and use evidence to guide subsequent priorities.
