We are seeking a part-time Pharmacy Subject Matter Expert (SME) to provide pharmacy operations, pharmacy informatics, and medication safety expertise for a VA healthcare application upgrade involving electronic prescription processing and workflow changes across legacy and modern application components. This role provides clinical and business guidance to the project team; it is not a hands-on development, project management, or training-authoring position. The Pharmacy SME will help validate requirements, review workflow and message-processing impacts, support IOC/UAT/SQA activities, and ensure release decisions account for pharmacist workflow, patient safety, data integrity, and operational continuity.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
· Provide pharmacy SME guidance on prescription-processing workflows, medication order data, drug file/content dependencies, clinical decision support considerations, and operational impacts.
· Review requirements, workflow descriptions, message-handling use cases, design updates, and release impacts for clinical accuracy and alignment with pharmacy operations.
· Support analysis of existing and modified electronic prescription workflows across MUMPS/VistA and Java application components, including routing, matching, acknowledgments, exception handling, and rejection/error scenarios.
· Provide SME review of NCPDP Script Standard message requirements, transaction types, field usage, acknowledgments, error/reject handling, and downstream pharmacy workflow impacts.
· Define and validate representative pharmacy scenarios, acceptance criteria, expected outcomes, and business rules to support Initial Operating Capability, User Acceptance Testing, and Software Quality Assurance activities.
· Review test cases, test results, defects, and release candidates to assess pharmacy business impact, workflow integrity, patient-safety implications, and operational readiness.
· Participate in defect triage, risk discussions, and go/no-go readiness reviews from a pharmacy perspective, emphasizing patient safety, data integrity, standards compliance, and continuity of pharmacy operations.
· Provide pharmacy-content review for release artifacts owned by other roles, such as Version Description Documents, Release Notes, user-facing guidance, implementation/deployment materials, technical documentation, and training content.
· Support stakeholder discussions with VA pharmacy, PBM, sustainment, testing, development, release, security, and operations teams to resolve clinical and business questions related to the upgrade.
· Identify downstream impacts to pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, beneficiaries, formulary/drug data, clinical alerts, order checking, prescription status, and transaction workflows.
· Document SME recommendations, assumptions, decisions, risks, issues, and unresolved clinical/business questions in a clear and actionable manner.
KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS REQUIRED:
· 10+ years of pharmacy practice, pharmacy informatics, medication-use systems, or healthcare IT subject matter expert experience.
· Pharmacist credential such as RPh or PharmD, with current or prior clinical pharmacy practice experience.
· Strong understanding of pharmacy operations, prescription processing, medication safety, drug data, formulary concepts, clinical decision support, and pharmacist workflow.
· Experience translating pharmacy business needs into software requirements, acceptance criteria, test scenarios, workflow guidance, or release-readiness input.
· Experience supporting enterprise healthcare applications, electronic prescription processing, medication order workflows, or EHR-integrated pharmacy systems.
· Working knowledge of the NCPDP Script Standard and its application to electronic prescribing workflows, message processing, acknowledgments, change/refill-related workflows, and rejection scenarios.
· Ability to review functional designs, test cases, defects, release notes, and user-facing materials for clinical and operational accuracy.
· Ability to support IOC, UAT, SQA, defect triage, release readiness, and post-release validation activities from a pharmacy SME perspective.
· Ability to communicate clearly with pharmacists, business stakeholders, developers, testers, project managers, cybersecurity, operations, and Government customers.
· Strong analytical, documentation, facilitation, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS DESIRED:
· Experience supporting VA, Federal healthcare, PBM, CMOP/mail-order pharmacy, or other large-scale healthcare pharmacy environments is highly desirable.
· Familiarity with VA pharmacy systems, VistA, Oracle Health or comparable EHR pharmacy modules, and electronic prescribing workflows is a plus.
· Experience with national drug file/content management, formulary alignment, drug data interoperability, medication order checking, clinical alerts, or drug interaction/dosing logic is beneficial.
· Familiarity with healthcare interoperability, prescription transaction standards, external certification dependencies, or regulated pharmacy technology environments is helpful; experience supporting NCPDP Script Standard implementations, upgrades, certification activities, or compliance reviews is preferred.
· Experience serving as a part-time or advisory SME on software modernization, standards upgrade, testing, release, or sustainment efforts is preferred.
EDUCATION:
· Bachelor of Pharmacy, PharmD, or equivalent pharmacy credential; equivalent specialized pharmacy informatics or healthcare IT experience may be considered.
CLEARANCE:
· Must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance.
WORK LOCATION:
· Remote
As part of the application process, you are expected to be on camera during interviews and assessments. We reserve the right to take your picture to verify your identity and prevent fraud.
This position requires U.S. citizenship or Greencard.
