Job Description

The Interoperability Product Owner position is designated by the Office of eHealth Innovation (OeHI) for the ownership of the interoperability of Colorado's Health IT Roadmap focused on Medicaid's priorities and populations. This position oversees the implementation, communication, integration, sustainment, and relationship management of Roadmap vendors established through Colorado's Health IT Roadmap efforts led by OeHI. This role is contracted through the Office of Information Technology and reports to the Director of OeHI and OeHI/Client Program Manager. This dual reporting position ensures OeHI direction and Client alignment. To coordinate communication, this position is the technical conduit between OeHI Roadmap workgroups and Client agency workgroups including but not limited to Joint Agency Interoperability (JAI), CBMS Work Plan Sub-Committee, Identity Standups, Information Governance, Consent, Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) and Medicaid Interoperability projects.
The Interoperability Product Owner will participate in OeHI workgroups facilitated by OeHI staff such as the Senior IT PMs, Client Health IT Coordinator, and Project Leads as the technical and strategy advisor to ensure interoperability, alignment, and scalability of efforts. In some instances this technical and strategic role will facilitate the workgroups to define user and system requirements, data models and standards, and to support OeHI. In order to advance the Roadmap's strategic priorities and goals, this position executes and/or oversees the development of reports, funding requests, communications, and other work priorities as assigned.
The position ensures the advancement and sustainability of Health IT Roadmap efforts in alignment with Medicaid Managed Information Systems (MMIS). Reporting to the OeHI Director and eHealth Commission, this position produces dashboards to clarify priority project status, risk mitigation efforts, performance toward goals, service level commitments, customer satisfaction, impacts on health equity and other metrics as agreed upon by OeHI and the eHealth Commission. This position is an important link in the communications process among all partners by providing critical information pertaining to Client technical partners and projects to advance the strategic priorities and goals of the Roadmap.
As OeHI's Interoperability Product Owner, this position works closely with Client, HCPF, the OeHI vendor partners, Health IT Roadmap and Client Agency workgroups, eHealth Commissioner Chairs, HCPF Health Information Office, and other Client and community stakeholder groups. Through these interactions, this position advances Colorado's Health IT Roadmap projects through the end of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Health Information Technology Act into the Medicaid Managed Information System (MMIS) funding and requirements, and identifies and secures new funding that can support interoperability of Client agency projects beyond Medicaid. Currently Roadmap projects are funded through HITECH. Ensuring alignment with MMIS requirements requires an attention to detail and understanding of these requirements. Securing new funding opportunities requires an ability to identity funding opportunities and partnerships that advance Roadmap priorities in alignment with the other funding streams. This individual will be able to do both and support OeHI's Director in broader funding strategies.
