Application Architect - Revenue Cycle IT

The Applications Architect provides technical leadership and strategic direction for an enterprise application portfolio, ensuring systems are designed, integrated, and maintained in alignment with organizational goals and industry best practices. This role bridges business needs and technical solutions, translating strategic priorities into scalable, secure, and maintainable application architectures across the health system’s clinical and business technology environment.

The Applications Architect partners closely with IT leadership, application teams, security, infrastructure, and business stakeholders to establish architectural standards, evaluate emerging technologies, and guide decisions on system design, integration patterns, and platform selection. The role plays a key part in major initiatives such as EHR optimization, application rationalization, automation and AI enablement, and enterprise system integrations, helping the organization deliver reliable, high-quality technology solutions that support clinical operations and business transformation.
