Why we read it this way (6)
The posting lists two possible on-site locations (Washington D.C. and Kansas) in addition to remote; the CBSA is set to Washington-Arlington-Alexandria as the primary named metro.
The clearance requirement is 'Public Trust / Moderate Risk' — this is a federal suitability determination, not a national security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None. Hiring managers should note candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust adjudication.
FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3 are listed together in the posting; FIPS 140-2 is used as the primary skill name with FIPS 140-3 as an alternative, as they represent successive versions of the same standard.
Cerner (Oracle Health) EHR experience and prior VA EHRM program involvement are explicitly described as 'strongly preferred,' so both are marked as preferred rather than required.
Healthcare or federal government IT systems experience is also listed as preferred; no specific named technology is associated with it, so it is not emitted as a skill.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Enterprise Network Architecture.
