Ensure adherence to programming documentation and procedural standards, and management goals and objectives. Perform other duties as assigned to support the NASWA SIDES initiatives. Integrate the incoming and outgoing NASWA SIDES exchange data streams into the existing core legacy processing architecture. This initiative requires comprehensive systems analysis and modification of current runtime routines, user interface screens, database tables, and batch processing jobs. Because data formats, triggers, and validation rules vary across functional areas, a separate, dedicated analysis phase must be executed independently for each of the four SIDES Exchanges (Additional Fact-Finding, Determinations, Monetary Charges, and Benefit Charges). Perform other duties as assigned.
