We address some of the world’s most complex challenges across infrastructure, economic growth and natural capital, health, energy, climate and environment, and digital transformation—strengthening systems, institutions, and markets to support inclusive and sustainable development. Our more than 2,100 staff worldwide work as trusted advisors across diverse contexts, combining deep technical expertise, implementation techniques, and innovative technology to deliver locally informed, client-focused solutions that help organizations achieve measurable, sustainable impact.

Project Background

Data-Activated Architecture for Resilient Transition (DART) supports the Ministry of Health (MOH) to strengthen and scale interoperable, fit-for-purpose digital health systems. The project supports facility digitization and EMR readiness; National Data Warehouse (NDWH) stabilization; data-center design and cybersecurity; Health Information Exchange (HIE) operations and priority integrations; workforce certification; survey modernization; responsible AI adoption; and service-delivery data reporting performance. The project is designed to build on MOH-owned systems, repositories, standards, and governance structures, with progressive transfer of capability to government and Ugandan institutions. Project period is anticipated 2026–2030, beginning with a six-month foundation phase.

Note: All positions are subject to award, final organizational design, and Palladium hiring procedures. Reporting lines may be adjusted during mobilization. “MOH” includes the responsible Directorate/Department of Health Informatics (DHI) and other government units as applicable.

Position Summary

The Technical Director, Interoperability & HIE Architect provides technical leadership for DART’s national interoperability, HIE operations, digital architecture, standards, and priority integration portfolio. The position works with MOH/DHI and system owners to operationalize MOH-approved architecture and standards across EMRs, DHIS2/eHMIS, eIDSR, eCHIS, laboratory systems, registries, NDWH, NMS/ERP platforms, and other priority systems. The role ensures DART strengthens existing government systems rather than creating parallel platforms.
