Clinical Technology Solution Architect (CTSA)
Edera L3C is a fast-growing healthcare consultancy that addresses today’s issues and helps create tomorrow’s solutions by connecting the brightest minds in healthcare. Our team of management, clinical, revenue, technology, and creative services consultants work collaboratively with industry experts who bring deep experience and expertise to create transformational business solutions. We believe complex challenges and multi-faceted opportunities call for multi-disciplinary approaches and that’s how we work. We transform healthcare by bringing industry best practices from the private sector to the public sector, and the public sector to the private sector. Edera is an L3C (a variation of a limited liability company) that places “purpose before profit;” a social enterprise venture. This means we are focused on a socially beneficial mission to transform organizations rather than being driven to maximize income. Profits beyond our business sustainability goals are reinvested into communities or clients.

A Clinical Technology Solution Architect is responsible for designing and implementing healthcare technology solutions that enhance clinical workflows, improve patient outcomes, and streamline operations. This person bridges the gap between IT systems and clinical needs, ensuring interoperability, compliance with regulations, and secure integration of technologies like EHRs, telemedicine platforms, and data analytics tools. The role involves collaborating with clinicians, IT teams, and stakeholders to develop scalable, secure, and efficient systems that align with healthcare organizations’ strategic goals.
The ideal candidate will be results-driven, work well under defined deadlines, and produce strong work products using innovative thinking and a can-do attitude. Our Clinical Technology Solution Architect will contribute and support a collaborative team in our pursuit for yet another Edera 5-star client delivery. While not required but rather highly desired, our CTSA will leverage their prior practical experience in military field healthcare environments and HIT system transitions, large scale implementations, or modernizations.
