We are currently seeking a CCL Program Writer to join our team. The CCL Program Writer owns MDaudit's Cerner CCL extract library the scripts that pull clinical events and charge transactions from client Cerner Millennium environments and feed MDaudit's revenue integrity and audit platform. The role spans the full lifecycle of those extracts: new development as MDaudit adds data sources or product capabilities, ongoing maintenance as Cerner's data model shifts across vendor releases, client-specific localization as new health systems join the portfolio, deployment and install partnership at client sites, and production support when extracts misbehave or downstream ingestion flags an issue.
The work is cross-functional. Internally, as part of the Integrations team the CCL Program Writer partners with MDaudit's ingestion and engineering teams on downstream file format compatibility, with product management on new data sources and client onboarding, with customer success and implementation on install timelines and data configurations, and with compliance and security on PHI handling and BAA conformance. They may occasionally support pre-sales and solutions engineering on prospect calls and feasibility scoping.
Externally, the most important partnership is with the client's own CCL development and Cerner DBA teams they hold compile permissions and schedule access in their domains, and a meaningful part of this role is building enough trust with each client's team that they're comfortable accepting changes from a vendor engineer. The CCL Program Writer coordinates with client revenue cycle, and client IT and infrastructure teams (SFTP configuration, file paths, extracts, etc.).
Essential Duties and Responsibilities Include but not limited to THE FOLLOWING:
- Author and maintain CCL programs for clinical events and charge data extraction (posted charges, suspended charges, surgery, ED, orders, tasks, census, GL audit, and related sources)
- Localize scripts per client domain (current domain, output paths, mbat_common group selection, acuity overrides)
- Deploy at client sites via Citrix Storefront or similar with Visual Discern with DBA compile permissions
- Configure facility and entity setup
- Schedule and tune ops jobs in Discern Scheduler (Olympus)
- Triage production issues: empty extracts, duplicate output, timing or scheduling conflicts, upgrade-day breakage
- Partner with client CCL developers on installs and changes
- Document changes through mod-control headers, runbooks, and localization tables
- Coordinate with MDaudit ingestion engineers on file format and column alignment
