**Summary**:
**Posting Date**:May 17, 2024

**Position Title**: Standards Specialist with Public Health Surveillance Subject Matter Expertise (Standards-PHS SME) (Full time)

**Department**: Connected Care, Canadian Standards Release Centre (CSRC)

**Report to**: Senior Manager, SNOMED CT

**Location**: Montreal/Toronto or Remote

**Overview**:
At Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) we believe a more connected and collaborative system is a healthier system, and we work with governments, health care organizations, clinicians and patients to make health care more digital. We’re working to ensure that everyone is able to access their personal health information, book appointments, get prescriptions, view lab test results and access other health services, online. We’re working with our partners to transform the health system because we know that digital in health can be as transformative as digital has been in other aspects of our lives. We’re an independent, not-for-profit organization funded by the federal government.

Continuing to improve Canadian health care necessitates work in interoperability — connected systems are healthier systems. Connected care means a healthier Canada, and Infoway is committed to advancing interoperability. Harnessing data sharing will result in “connected care” and a modern health system for all Canadians. In support of the provinces and territories, Infoway is facilitating a national collaborative effort to advance interoperability using a collaborative development process.

Together with our jurisdictional, clinical, patient and industry partners we are committed to improving the health of Canadians by accelerating the development, adoption and effective use of innovative digital health solutions.

**Why Join Us?**

- Work with a dynamic, multi-functional team of professionals dedicated and passionate about modernizing the health care system
- Demonstrate your strong organizational, technical leadership skills in a fast-paced, innovative, and supportive environment
- We take care of our employees

**Position Purpose**:
Infoway is looking for an experienced Standards Specialist with Public Health Surveillance Subject Matter Expertise, to drive and support the CSRC standards development activities associated with the interoperability roadmap, the Public Health Surveillance Community, the Infoway Products as well as the pan-Canadian Standards implementations.
