The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is the backbone of California's health care safety net. Our success is made possible by the hard work of more than 4,800 DHCS team members and through collaboration with the federal government and other state agencies, counties, and partners for the care of low-income families, children, pregnant women, older adults, and persons with disabilities.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our diverse team in the following role. If you are interested in joining our team,

The Health Information Management Division (HIMD) at the California DHCS is seeking a highly motivated and experienced individual to join our team as an Information Technology Manager II (ITM II) within the Data Quality Branch.

DHCS is the backbone of California's health care safety net, helping millions of low-income and disabled Californians each day. We recognize the critical role that data plays in driving our success and enabling informed decision-making. DHCS is on the leading edge and has one of the largest data and information management programs within the California Health and Human Services Agency.
The Chief of Data Quality Branch (DQB) oversees the highly complex and technical operations of the two sections responsible for data quality. The scope of responsibility for the ITM II requires enterprise oversight of strategic assets such as data quality planning, reporting, analysis, remediation and improvement of data quality and data standards within DHCS. The ITM II will provide oversight for ongoing data quality for the Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS), a critical data reporting component of the CMS Medicaid and CHIP Business Information Solution (MACBIS) to improve beneficiary quality of care, assess beneficiary utilization and enrollment, and improve program integrity.

The incumbent also oversees data quality catalog, data lineage, data quality assessments and reporting specific to oversight requirements for managed care plans, including the Quality Measures for Encounter Data (QMED), which reports managed care encounter data completeness, accuracy, reasonability, and timeliness, and other encounter data initiatives. Data quality involves working with technology system teams and program teams to address quality issues.

Data quality is critical for monitoring of DHCS programs, including monitoring data sources to assess changes over time, making modifications and adjustments to support outcomes and analysis that will involve assessing data sources to provide information reflective of interactions of beneficiaries across multiple services. The ITM II will provide standards expertise, which includes Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) compliance, X12 claims standards, National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP), Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA), Health Level 7 (HL7) - Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR), United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI), International Classification of Diseases, (ICD) version 9 and version 10, and other local codes, standards, and other clinical data formats.

This position is subject to the Department's Conflict of Interest Code and filing a Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700) when assuming office, annually while in office, and upon leaving office.
