RESPEC is seeking a Business Analyst to support Idaho's public health teams on timely, accurate disease surveillance data. In this role you will keep that data moving between labs, hospitals, state public health, and the CDC. You will support and maintain the Rhapsody and .NET applications behind Idaho's surveillance systems. You will also help plan the modernization of legacy platforms and recommend the tools and technologies that shape the next generation of the state's disease surveillance and data infrastructure.
Hands-on experience with the Rhapsody Integration Engine and Integrated Disease Surveillance Systems (IDSS) is the top requirement for this position. Oracle PL/SQL is helpful for data tasks but is not the main focus.
You will configure, monitor, and troubleshoot Rhapsody interfaces. You will maintain and improve HL7 message routing, transformations, and mappings. You will also manage data exchange between external organizations, the Division of Public Health, and the CDC. Day to day, you will troubleshoot the NEDSS Base System (NBS), implement upgrades and new modules such as pages, and maintain ancillary tools including NBS Utilities and the ELR data store. You will coordinate directly with partners such as the CDC, hospitals, and laboratories.
On the application and infrastructure side, you will support and troubleshoot existing .NET applications and Windows-based environments. You will build scripts and tools in PowerShell and SQL to automate and maintain them.
You will work with internal teams every day to assess the current architecture and recommend improvements. You will join daily and weekly planning and architecture discussions for the modernization effort. You will also document your work and transfer knowledge to client staff. All project time is tracked in 7pace Timetracker.
Knowledge of NBS/NEDSS systems and workflows is the top preference. Candidates will stand out with any of the following:
All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
