Strategic FHIR Consulting That Delivers Results

Partner with an expert who has successfully architected and implemented FHIR solutions for payers, providers, and digital health companies. Get the strategic guidance and hands-on expertise you need to succeed.

Why Most FHIR Projects Fail

⚠️

Underestimated Complexity

Organizations treat FHIR like just another API integration, missing the nuances of healthcare data standards, implementation guides, and compliance requirements.

πŸ”„

Endless Iterations

Without clear architectural direction, teams spend months building the wrong thing, only to restart when they hit validation or regulatory walls.

πŸ’Έ

Budget Overruns

What starts as a 3-month project turns into 12+ months, burning through budget and missing critical market windows.

πŸ‘₯

Knowledge Gaps

Your developers are brilliant engineers, but FHIR requires specialized healthcare interoperability expertise they don't have.

How We'll Work Together

A proven process that gets you from strategy to production efficiently

1

Discovery Call

We'll discuss your goals, current challenges, and technical requirements. I'll assess if we're a good fit and provide initial recommendations. No charge, no obligation.

2

Proposal & Planning

You'll receive a detailed proposal with scope, timeline, deliverables, and investment. We'll align on success metrics and engagement structure.

3

Kickoff & Deep Dive

We'll meet with your team, review existing work, and establish communication channels. I'll deliver an initial assessment and prioritized action plan.

4

Execution & Support

Regular touchpoints, hands-on implementation support, and continuous course correction as we work toward your goals. You'll always know where we stand.

5

Launch & Transition

We'll ensure your team has everything they need to succeed independently: documentation, training, and a clear playbook for maintaining and evolving your FHIR implementation.

Why Work With Me

Battle-Tested Expertise

10+ years implementing FHIR across payers, providers, and digital health. I've seen and solved the problems you're facing.

Results-Focused

I'm not interested in long consulting engagements that go nowhere. My goal is to make you successful and self-sufficient as quickly as possible.

Hands-On Technical Leader

I'm a developer and architect first. I can review code, design systems, and write production-ready implementations myself.

Knowledge Transfer

I ensure your team learns while we work together. You'll have the knowledge and confidence to maintain and extend your solution.

Common Questions

Do you work with organizations outside the US?

Yes. While I specialize in US-based implementation guides like US Core and CARIN Blue Button, I've worked with international organizations implementing FHIR R4 and can adapt to other jurisdictions.

What if our project needs change mid-engagement?

Flexibility is built in. For ongoing engagements, we'll adjust priorities and scope as needed. For fixed-scope projects, we'll discuss changes and agree on any adjustments before proceeding.

Do you work onsite or remotely?

Most engagements are remote, which keeps costs down and allows for flexible scheduling. For certain strategic initiatives or team training, I can travel onsite when it adds significant value.

How quickly can we get started?

After our discovery call and proposal approval, most strategic advisory engagements can start within 1-2 weeks. Implementation partnerships typically kick off within 2-3 weeks.

What happens after our engagement ends?

You'll have complete documentation, trained team members, and a clear path forward. Many clients come back for periodic reviews or new initiatives, but there's no ongoing obligation.
