Healthcare Interoperability Modernization
Regulatory and interoperability requirements had to become working platform behavior rather than remain policy or documentation.
What this is
Client or enterprise experience
My role
I owned payer-facing product requirements and functional design for CMS Cures Act and FHIR interoperability work at ELLKAY.
Why it matters here
Translating policy and technical requirements into controlled operating behaviour is the same capability a prior-authorization or interoperability program needs when evidence, access, exceptions, and auditability all have to hold together.
1. Buyer or operating context
A payer-facing healthcare interoperability platform operating under CMS requirements, access-control needs, auditability, and data-governance constraints.
2. Triggering problem
Regulatory and interoperability requirements had to become working platform behavior rather than remain policy or documentation.
3. What was breaking
Data exchange, onboarding, access control, governance, and operational adoption had to work together across external parties.
4. Why conventional approaches were insufficient
Treating the initiative as an API-only project would have left onboarding, authority, audit, and day-to-day operating requirements unresolved.
5. My role
I owned payer-facing product requirements and functional design for CMS Cures Act and FHIR interoperability work at ELLKAY.
6. Intervention
The work connected technical exchange requirements to access controls, auditability, governance, onboarding, and delivery coordination.
7. Evidence or result
Access, auditability, onboarding, and governance were designed together rather than sequenced after the API, which turned the regulatory requirements into implementable product behaviour and working operating controls.
8. Why this matters to a prospective buyer
Translating policy and technical requirements into controlled operating behaviour is the same capability a prior-authorization or interoperability program needs when evidence, access, exceptions, and auditability all have to hold together.
Evidence record
What can be supported publicly.
Limits of this evidence
Employment history establishes the scope of the role. Neither the employer nor its clients endorse this practice, and I do not publish confidential program artifacts or outcome measures.
Program Recovery Conversation
Bring one program under pressure.
The Program Recovery Review establishes what is actually wrong with one program, separates symptoms from addressable causes, and gives leadership a 90-day action plan.
