Work at Arizona's neutral table for health interoperability
AzHeC is a small, mission-driven team that translates interoperability standards into guidance Arizona's hospitals, clinics, labs, pharmacies, payers, and agencies can act on. If you care about connected care done the public-interest way, we want to hear from you.
Arizona
A mission you can stand behind
The council exists to make connected care comprehensible. We sit at a vendor-neutral table — no product allegiances, no paid placements — and explain how clinical data should move safely between providers across Arizona. That posture shapes the work: it is standards-first, evidence-led, and accountable to the public interest rather than to any single platform.
We are a lean organization. People here wear several hats, work closely with stakeholders across the state, and see their work reach hospitals, rural clinics, tribal health programs, and state agencies alike. It is unglamorous, durable infrastructure work — the kind that quietly improves continuity of care for years.
The kinds of roles we build around
We do not always have an opening in every area, and we publish roles only when a genuine need exists. These are the role areas the council's work tends to require — described so you can tell us where you would fit.
01Standards & informatics analysts
People fluent in HL7 v2, FHIR, C-CDA, UDI, and GS1 who can turn dense specifications into plain-language guidance and review implementations against the published standard.

02HIE & integration engineers
Engineers who understand interface engines, identity matching, query-based and directed exchange, and the realities of moving records between disparate systems reliably.

03Policy & public affairs
Roles tracking health-IT policy, consent and privacy frameworks, and the EHR Incentive / Promoting Interoperability history — and engaging state agencies and policymakers.
Who we serve
04Education & content
Writers and educators who can produce primers, explainers, and glossaries that make interoperability legible to non-specialists without losing technical accuracy.
Our knowledge hub
05Stakeholder & program operations
Coordinators who keep a multi-stakeholder council running: convening members, scheduling committee work, and supporting the neutral-table process.
Partners & members
06Privacy, security & governance
People who care about minimum-necessary data sharing, audit logging, consent enforcement, and HIPAA-aligned governance for exchanged health information.
How we're governedWhat we value in a teammate
Regardless of role, the same principles run through everyone's work here.
Vendor neutrality
You can hold a position because the standard supports it — not because a vendor prefers it.
Plain language
You can explain a complex interoperability concept to a clinic administrator and a CIO in the same conversation.
Public-interest mindset
You believe equitable access to health information is a duty, including for rural and tribal Arizona.
Standards literacy
You read the specification before forming an opinion, and you cite it.
How to express interest
Because we are small, we do not run a continuous job board or an applicant-tracking system. The most reliable way to be considered is to introduce yourself directly.
Tell us where you fit
Reach out through our contact page and name the role area above that matches your experience — or describe the contribution you think you could make.
Share your background
Include a short summary of your work, any standards or systems you know well, and links to writing or projects if you have them.
We keep your note on file
We review expressions of interest as needs arise. When a genuine opening matches, we reach back out — there are no fabricated listings or salary promises here.
