EPR Integration Analyst
Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as a EPR Integration Analyst
As part of the EPR Team you will work in collaboration with the other EPR workstreams, the Digital Data and Technology department and other Trust teams to support and deliver the EPR system through this large programme of work.
The EPR Integration Analyst plays an important role in making sure the Trust's Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system runs safely, reliably, and connects smoothly with the other systems we use to support patient care. As part of the EPR Programme Team, you'll provide technical input on how interfaces and data flows are designed, built, and maintained between the EPR and the various clinical, diagnostic, and administrative systems across the organisation.
Main duties of the job
This is a very collaborative role that sits between clinical teams, digital colleagues, and system suppliers. You'll work closely with clinicians, operational leads, and technical teams to make sure information moves cleanly between systems, supporting efficient workflows and accurate clinical documentation. A good understanding of integration standards like HL7 and FHIR is important, along with strong analytical skills and the ability to turn complex requirements into safe, workable technical solutions.
As a Band 6 specialist, you'll support the integration workstream, contribute to the Trust's wider digital transformation plans, and act as a point of expertise for interface-related issues. You'll help diagnose and fix integration problems, support go-lives, and make sure all changes are properly tested, documented, and implemented in line with clinical safety and information governance requirements.
