Establish a structured testing lifecycle—unit, integration, system, user acceptance, and regression—anchored in formal governance with defined approval gates and sign-off criteria.

#2 Traceability and Defect Management

Implement a requirements traceability matrix linking business, clinical, and technical requirements to test cases and outcomes, with a standardized defect triage and resolution process.

Maintain dedicated, configuration-managed test environments that accurately mirror production, ensuring data integrity, version control, and environment stability throughout the testing phases.

#4 Role-Based Accountability

Define clear roles for Test Leads, Business Testers, and Vendor Test Managers; establish RACI alignment with Project Management, Configuration, and Release teams.

#5 Quality Metrics and Readiness Reporting

Institute objective testing metrics (pass/fail rates, defect leakage, test coverage) and publish recurring Test Readiness Reports for executive review and go-live decisions.

Requirements

• A minimum of 8-10 years of experience in software testing, of which at least 3-5 years leading testing efforts for EHR or large health-care IT system implementations.

• At least 2 full end-to-end EHR implementations (preferably inpatient hospital/behavioral health) where you were responsible for test strategy, test planning, automation oversight, defect management, UAT and go-live support.

• Demonstrated experience leading a testing team of 5-10+ testers, across multiple facilities or sites, coordinating test schedules, dependencies, cross-functional stakeholders.

• Proficiency with test management tools (e.g., Jira, HP ALM, TestRail), automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, UFT), defect tracking/reporting dashboards.

• Strong experience with requirements traceability (linking business/clinical requirements to test cases to results) and governance artifacts (test plans, test reports, deliverable acceptance forms)

• Health-care domain experience (ideally inpatient behavioral health or forensic hospital setting) with knowledge of workflows (registration, pharmacy, nursing/psychiatric care, billing, lab interfaces).

• Experience coordinating load/stress/integration/regression testing for large systems (e.g., thousands of users, multiple hospitals).

• Certifications such as ISTQB Advanced, CPHIMS (or equivalent), Agile Tester or ScrumMaster, and/or PMP.

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills – able to work with clinicians, business leads, IT architects, project managers, trainers – and deliver testing status to executive leadership.

• Strong risk-management orientation: able to identify risks in test coverage, schedule slippages, high-severity defects, and drive mitigation plans.

• Comfortable in a regulated environment (privacy/security requirements, accreditation, forensic/patient safety implications) and delivering high-quality deliverables under tight timelines.
