What We Screen For Before Placement
- Production clinical data pipeline experience
- FHIR R4 + HL7 v2 fluency
- OMOP CDM or analogous research data model
- HIPAA-grade engineering habits including de-identification
Custom Software
Hire Dedicated Clinical Data Engineers in the USA
A clinical data engineer is not a generic data engineer with HIPAA training. The healthcare data stack — FHIR R4, HL7 v2, OMOP CDM, OHDSI, de-identification pipelines, and the bidirectional flow between EHRs and analytics warehouses — is its own discipline. Generic data engineers spend their first six months learning what FHIR _revinclude means before they ship anything useful.
Taction Software’s clinical data engineers have built FHIR-first data lakes, OMOP CDM warehouses, real-world evidence pipelines, and analytics platforms for hospital systems, payers, CROs, and digital health companies. Every engineer has worked under a BAA on PHI-bearing data. Engagements start at $8,000 per engineer per month with a 14-day onboarding window and a Business Associate Agreement signed before any PHI touches our systems.
