My experience in healthcare project

My current assignment as Integration architect for a health care project is coming to an end. I will be taking a new position as Integration architect/developer. It was a wonderful experience in last one year working on health care domain. Before joining this project I was new to health care domain and standards followed in this domain.

Now I have fair knowledge on MITA Medicaid IT Architecture, and EDI HIPAA Transactions. The architecture team produced nearly 200 pages of ADD (Architecture Description Document) with key decisions, and produced SDD (Strategic Decision Document) to capture minute details of the available options, and chosen one.

MITA Framework 2.0
MITA SOA

I mostly worked on ESB, and developing a solution for EDI Gateway, translation services required for this project. Apart from integrating the business processes, there is a technical requirement to integrate various products (Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS)) with core solution in a loosely coupled fashion. Using SOA/ESB integration principles, solution can achieve required business flexibility.


I hope I will grab similar experience in my next assignment, and share some of my experiences which would help in writing architecture documents.
