• Produces sophisticated reports, data sets, dashboards, and analytical deliverables in collaboration with team members, vendors, and Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) stakeholders, communicating findings and actionable insights to clinical, operational, and organizational decision-makers.
• Supports the identification, measurement, and monitoring of health disparities by analyzing relevant patient population data, including appropriate demographic and other available data elements, to evaluate differences in access, utilization, quality, and outcomes.
• Evaluates data quality, completeness, consistency, and appropriate use of patient population data, recognizing how limitations in data collection, classification, and reporting may affect the identification and interpretation of health disparities.
• Partners with clinical and operational stakeholders to understand the implications of analytical findings and support the development of data-informed strategies, performance measures, and improvement opportunities that advance health equity.
• Participates in the re-engineering of operational workflows, as needed, working with end users and business owners to evaluate existing processes, identify opportunities for improvement, and assess the potential impact on patient care and equitable service delivery.
• Contributes to strategic discussions by proactively identifying analytical and technical options, evaluating associated advantages and limitations, and recommending approaches that align with organizational priorities, data intelligence objectives, and health equity goals.
