In this role, the incumbent will be responsible for analyzing data sets across the organization and between care providers from various treatment settings to determine the costs and clinical components associated with episodes of care and value-based payment.

This position will directly interact with each of these care providers to outline current care practices, highlight opportunities for improvement, inform all parties of best practices for medical management, and assist in constructing a patient-centered future state process flow and shared clinical pathways. In collaboration with senior management, finance, quality, network integration, and managed care, this position will be responsible for developing a scorecard of financial and quality indicators to manage payment reform projects and negotiate contractual, and possible gainsharing, arrangements with all care providers affiliated with the projects.
