Sample interview questions
I begin by identifying the clinical and operational workflow, mapping source data to the appropriate FHIR resources and profiles, and validating the implementation against the relevant guide. I then test API transactions, investigate data-quality exceptions, and work with partner teams to resolve mapping or validation issues.
I first reproduce the issue and review request and response payloads, status codes, authentication, and endpoint behavior. Next, I validate resource structure, profiles, required fields, terminology bindings, and identifiers, then isolate whether the root cause is in the source system, transformation layer, API, or receiving system.
I would describe validation as a quality check that confirms healthcare information is organized consistently enough for another system to understand and use safely. It verifies that required information is present, values follow agreed rules, and the data can support the intended workflow.
I document the shared business objective, clarify assumptions, and translate requirements into traceable technical decisions. I use implementation guides, examples, data mappings, and structured review sessions to build agreement, surface risks early, and record final decisions.
I establish data-quality rules for completeness, conformance, consistency, timeliness, and duplicate identifiers. I compare source and target records, analyze error trends, prioritize issues by their operational impact, and partner with system owners to implement remediation and ongoing monitoring.
