The Integration Architect is responsible for designing, developing and governing integrations between Affidea’s clinical and business applications, with a primary focus on healthcare interoperability and the Group’s central integration platform. A key responsibility of the role is the technical ownership, development and continuous improvement of Affidea’s Central Mirth integration platform, which provides standardized integration capabilities between country-level and Group-level clinical systems. The Integration Architect combines solution architecture with hands-on integration development. The role is expected not only to define integration designs and standards, but also to develop, configure, test, troubleshoot and optimize interfaces and integration components. The role works closely with Group and Country IT teams, application owners, clinical IT teams, project teams and external vendors to ensure reliable, secure and scalable exchange of healthcare information between systems such as HIS, RIS, PACS, LIS and other clinical and operational platforms. The Integration Architect also drives the standardization of healthcare integrations across Affidea, reducing unnecessary point-to-point integrations and establishing reusable integration services and patterns. Healthcare Integration Architecture Design end-to-end integrations between healthcare applications including HIS, RIS, PACS, LIS and other clinical systems. Define integration architecture and data flows between local country systems and central Group platforms. Design and maintain integration solutions using healthcare interoperability standards including HL7 v2, FHIR and DICOM. Define standardized integration patterns for patient, appointment, order, result and other clinical information exchange. Analyze existing healthcare workflows and interfaces and propose improved or standardized integration solutions. Support the transition from country-specific and point-to-point interfaces towards reusable Group integration services. Produce and maintain integration architecture diagrams, interface specifications, message flows and technical documentation. Ensure appropriate consideration of patient safety, data integrity, availability and traceability when designing healthcare integrations. Central Mirth Platform Take technical ownership of Affidea’s Central Mirth integration platform and its integration architecture. Design and develop Mirth channels supporting communication between Group and country-level systems. Configure and maintain Mirth source and destination connectors, transformers, filters and routing logic. Develop message transformations and routing rules for healthcare and application integrations. Implement and maintain HL7 and other message-processing workflows within Mirth. Develop custom scripts and components where required to support complex integration requirements. Design reliable message processing including acknowledgement handling, retries, queues, error handling and message recovery. Monitor and optimize integration performance and message processing. Troubleshoot complex integration problems including connectivity, message format, transformation, routing and application-level issues. Analyze failed, delayed or duplicate messages and perform root-cause analysis. Define monitoring, alerting and logging requirements for the central integration platform. Support high availability, scalability and business continuity requirements of the Central Mirth environment. Establish development, testing and deployment standards for Mirth channels and integration components. Maintain appropriate version control and release management for integration developments.
