Health IT Systems Integration Specialist

Ingest simulated incoming care-team messages represented as FHIR R5 Communication and MessageHeader structures.

Parse practitioner roles and organizational care-team assignments against sandbox endpoint rosters.

Execute deterministic priority and on-call routing rules to dispatch messages to recipient queues.

Assemble delivery audit logs and emit simulated FHIR CommunicationRequest receipts for integrator review.

Web sandbox workspace showing inbound HL7 FHIR payload streams, care-team routing tables, and dispatch logs.

Generate synthetic FHIR R5 bundles based on official HL7 FHIR R5 Foundation examples without real patient identifiers. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.

HL7 FHIR overview Utilize FHIR R5 Foundation module specifications for MessageHeader, Communication, and PractitionerRole reference links.

pydantic-ai, fastapi, fhir.resources. pydantic-ai validates typed FHIR payload attributes and strictly enforces role-based routing schema models. Local or hosted LLM via API for parsing unstructured care-team escalation text into routing categories.

Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.

Validates FHIR R5 Communication and MessageHeader resources using formal schema classes.

Correctly maps role-based escalation targets (e.g., attending, lab on-call) to simulated queues.

Outputs a structured routing disposition with timestamp, destination queue, and delivery status.

Rejects or queues for human review any message with unresolved practitioner references.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Validates FHIR R5 Communication and MessageHeader resources using formal schema classes. Correctly maps role-based escalation targets (e.g., attending, lab on-call) to simulated queues. Outputs a structured routing disposition with timestamp, destination queue, and delivery status. Rejects or queues for human review any message with unresolved practitioner references.
