Project Overview
The Clinical Data Foundation (CDF) program aims to create the foundation for a cloud native, scalable, and rationalized electronic health record, and to address the future interoperability and clinical data sharing needs of the Agency by establishing a Technology Product Standard for an HL7 FHIR Integration Data Exchange Platform. The CDF objectives: Enable replacement of the existing ConnectingOntario CDR, supporting the goal of consolidating to a single clinical viewer. Enable future consolidation of existing data assets onto a common, cloud based technology platform (e.g., DHDR, OLIS). Support onboarding of new data assets and domains (e.g., Mental Health & Addictions, Primary Care, eReferral). Ensure compatibility and integration with existing provincial assets and systems (e.g., MOH, CorHealth, IAR) through the use of the Smile CDR platform.
Key Responsibilities
Analyze and understand business and technical requirements, business flows/stories, design documents, implementation guides, and data mapping specifications to develop test strategies, test plans, test cases, and automated test scripts. Execute automated testing across multiple non-production environments supporting the Clinical Data Foundation (CDF) Program and other integrated healthcare systems.
Perform testing and validation of HL7 FHIR R4 resources, including Patient, Practitioner, PractitionerRole, Organization, Location, Encounter, and other related resources.
Validate FHIR Implementation Guide (IG) profiles, including profile conformance, cardinality constraints, terminology bindings, and data quality requirements.
Validate HL7 v2 to FHIR R4 mappings, transformations, and end-to-end data flows to ensure data integrity, interoperability, and compliance with implementation specifications.
Analyze, plan, design, build, implement, execute, and maintain automation testing frameworks, automated test cases, and automation scripts for UI and API validation.
Utilize automation toolsets to generate, manage, and validate complex test data.
Log, track, and manage defects using Jira.
Collaborate with the QA Lead and project partners, including Project Managers, IT Leads, and Business Analysts, in the analysis, design, development, implementation, and ongoing support of systems from a quality assurance and testing perspective.
Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams across multiple programs and initiatives, promoting automation best practices, standards, and continuous improvement throughout the organization.
Provide input to the QA Lead for test effort estimation, and contribute to the development of test strategies, test plans, and test execution reports.
Collaborate with business partners to support business acceptance and release readiness activities, assess testing outcomes, identify quality risks, and provide recommendations to support Go/No-Go decisions and production deployments
Apply technical knowledge and experience to collaborate effectively with internal and third parties Development, Architecture, and Infrastructure teams.
Perform testing within an Agile Scrum delivery model while adhering to DevOps and CI/CD principles and practices.
Mentor and train QA team members on automation frameworks, tools, and best practices to support program delivery.
