Clinical Implementation Analyst Job Description
We’re looking for skilled Implementation Analysts to join our team. You’ll be presented with unique challenges to solve in the healthcare industry that goes beyond the traditional view of “digital transformation.”
The right candidate has a solid understanding of hospital/supplier relationships in the context of contracting and pricing agreements for the use of products in the operating room setting. Specifically, you understand how hospitals and/or vendors work together to ensure products are available when they’re needed, how pricing works, and what is included in these agreements. Working experience in Medical Device (Orthopedic, Cath Lab, or Cardiac, etc), hospital contracting/materials management, supplier contracting or Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) is a plus.
The primary role of the Clinical Implementation Analyst is to help the implementation team create a cloud-based, digital representation of today’s manually managed, disparate and often inaccurate pricing agreements between hospitals and suppliers. This requires reviewing multiple files in various formats and working with our internal team to create a 100% accurate representation in our platform. You will not be negotiating or determining pricing, you will be translating what already exists into a digital form. This is a cross-functional role, where you will be working closely with implementation, sales, and customer service teams.
