1. Position Overview
Service New Brunswick (SNB) is seeking a Senior Clinical IAM and Context Specialist (TS2) to support the design, assessment, and implementation of Identity and Access Management (IAM), authentication, clinical application integration, and contextual workflow capabilities for New Brunswick's provincial Clinical Information Solution (CIS).
The province is transitioning from multiple standalone clinical systems to a single provincial CIS. The successful candidate will assess current-state identity and access capabilities, identify technical gaps, develop target-state architecture recommendations, and support the integration of clinical applications and identity services across the provincial healthcare environment.
The specialist will help establish a secure, consistent, and efficient clinical access experience, including Single Sign-On (SSO), tap-and-go technologies, session continuity, contextual application launch, patient-context synchronization, clinician mobility, and integration with connected clinical systems.
This position requires a combination of enterprise architecture, hands-on technical implementation, clinical workflow knowledge, identity integration, troubleshooting, and stakeholder collaboration. The specialist will work closely with SNB enterprise architecture and IAM teams, CIS vendors, cybersecurity teams, clinical leaders, application owners, infrastructure teams, and operational support groups across Horizon and Vitalité.
The successful candidate will also mentor New Brunswick program personnel, facilitate knowledge transfer, and support the transition of implemented capabilities into sustainable operational support.

  • Ensure authentication and access approaches support clinical efficiency and appropriate security controls.
C. Contextual Launch and Clinical Workflow Integration
  • Assess and validate clinician access workflows across clinical applications.
  • Support launch-in-context capabilities and contextual application launching.
  • Evaluate synchronization and sharing of patient context between multiple applications.
  • Assess workflow-aware application access, clinical application interoperability, and user workflow optimization.
  • Support continuity of clinical access as clinicians move between workstations and care settings.
D. Technical Solution Design and Proof of Concept
  • Develop detailed technical solution designs and implementation recommendations.
  • Participate directly in configuration, identity integration, testing, troubleshooting, proof-of-concept activities, and pilot implementations.
  • Validate authentication, identity integration, contextual launch, and clinical application access approaches.
  • Document solution options, technical findings, test results, and recommendations.
E. Clinical Device Access Architecture
  • Collaborate with endpoint, infrastructure, and clinical technology teams to assess clinical device usage models.
  • Define appropriate authentication, application access, session management, and mobility requirements for different device categories.
  • Assess access requirements for shared workstations, clinical endpoints, and mobile clinical environments.

  • Assess clinical application portfolios to determine authentication and identity integration requirements.
  • Identify SSO candidates, launch-in-context candidates, integration dependencies, and modernization opportunities.
  • Evaluate legacy authentication constraints and application readiness for CIS deployment.
  • Align application access and integration readiness activities with implementation schedules and deployment priorities.
G. Identity and Application Integration
  • Design and validate integrations among the CIS, connected clinical applications, IAM platforms, directory services, provisioning solutions, endpoint technologies, and related systems.
  • Assess and address legacy authentication constraints and multi-domain identity requirements.
  • Evaluate LDAP integration, identity federation, modern authentication protocols, and API integration patterns.
  • Support healthcare interoperability and integration across clinical applications and enterprise platforms.
H. Deployment Support and Issue Resolution
  • Provide technical guidance during CIS testing, proof-of-concept activities, pilots, and deployment waves.
  • Investigate and resolve authentication, session management, identity integration, and clinical application access issues.
  • Coordinate with vendors, application teams, and operational support groups to troubleshoot technical issues.
  • Support deployment planning, architecture reviews, solution recommendations, testing, and go-live activities.
I. Operational Readiness and Transition
  • Define operational support models and procedures for clinical access and identity integration capabilities.
  • Prepare architecture and integration documentation, operational runbooks, and support guidance.
  • Support operational readiness planning and handover to ongoing support teams.
  • Conduct knowledge-transfer sessions and mentor program personnel to build sustainable internal capabilities.
J. Stakeholder Engagement and Knowledge Transfer
  • Work collaboratively with enterprise architecture, IAM, cybersecurity, clinical, application, infrastructure, vendor, and operational teams.
