## Description

We are partnered with a large academic medical center to develop a PM-ready Healthcare Technology Execution Blueprint for Year 1 (2026 to 2027). The Senior Solutions Architect owns the technical and dependency layer — ensuring every Year 1 workstream is architected to support Years 2 and 3 without rework, and that no requirement is discovered too late.

3 Month Engagement

Remote (will require travel 1-2x per month for 3-4 days per visit) in San Francisco

Pay: Starting at $120/hour

**What you'll own**

-   Lead forward-compatible requirements definition for each Year 1 workstream, ensuring Year 1 decisions account for the technologies and loads arriving in Years 2 and 3
-   Build the full cross-domain dependency map across all four workstreams — making inter-domain relationships explicit for sequencing decisions
-   Work directly with client SMEs on facility readiness assessments and infrastructure sequencing across sites
-   Apply the Epic-first evaluation framework — assess native Epic capabilities before recommending third-party solutions
-   Produce the technical sections of the Execution Blueprint: dependency model, facility deployment plan, forward-compatible workstream requirements
-   Collaborate daily with the Senior Health IT Strategist to ensure technical findings feed directly into stakeholder alignment and narrative

**Key deliverables you'll drive**

-   Forward-Compatible Workstream Requirements — full requirements set for each Year 1 workstream scoped to support Years 2–3
-   Cross-Domain Dependency Model — complete map of predecessor/successor dependencies across all workstreams
-   Facility Deployment Plan — site-by-site readiness, infrastructure remediation requirements, deployment sequencing
-   Technical input to Vendor Shortlist — Epic/Apple ecosystem compatibility scoring
-   Budget Framework — order-of-magnitude cost framework by domain and phase

## Requirements

-   10+ years in health IT architecture, solutions design, or technical program management in complex health systems
-   Deep Epic expertise — particularly EHR integration, device connectivity, and cross-module workflow dependencies
-   Hands-on experience with at least two of the four engagement domains: digital infrastructure (Wi-Fi, network segmentation, IoT), enterprise mobile platforms (iOS-first, MDM), EHR integrations, or smart room technologies (IPX, RTLS, digital signage)
-   Proven ability to build cross-domain dependency maps and translate them into sequenced, executable plans
-   Experience conducting infrastructure and facility readiness assessments across multi-site health systems
-   Able to work at the speed of a fixed-timeline engagement — structured thinking, fast output, high rigor

**Nice to have**

-   Experience with RTLS deployment, AMR logistics, or smart room / IPX platforms
-   Familiarity with Epic-first evaluation frameworks for third-party technology decisions
