Role Description
AcuityMD is seeking an Informaticist to establish our informatics practice. Our data assets are central to the value we deliver, and managing the associated informatics—ontologies, value sets, concepts, and terminologies—is critical for ensuring data quality, enabling powerful product features, and building trust with our clients.
As our first hire in this function, you will be responsible for understanding the nuances of our data products, the use cases they support (particularly in the medical device space), and the opportunities for improvement. You will apply informatics best practices to build, manage, and scale our standard content libraries and data quality frameworks. This role requires a blend of deep technical expertise in medical terminologies, strategic thinking about data quality, and strong collaboration skills to work effectively across Product, Engineering, Data Platform, and Commercial teams. Initially, the focus will be on clinical informatics needs, laying the groundwork for future expansion.
Responsibilities
- Develop and manage standard content: design, build, maintain, and scale standard content libraries, ontologies, value sets, and hierarchies relevant to medical devices, procedures, diagnoses, claims data, and other healthcare concepts crucial to AcuityMD's platform.
- Drive data quality initiatives: define, measure, and monitor data quality metrics and identify root causes of data quality issues using informatics best practices to improve the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of our data assets.
- Cross-functional collaboration: provide expertise and guidance on leveraging informatics effectively by partnering closely with Product Management, Engineering, and Data Platform, and Commercial teams to integrate informatics best practices into our data infrastructure, product development lifecycle, and customer implementations.
- Tooling and process improvement: evaluate, recommend, and potentially implement informatics tooling, and establish and refine processes for managing terminology updates, additions, and deletions gracefully.
- Strategic input: advise stakeholders on opportunities to use informatics to unlock new product use cases, improve user experience, and drive business outcomes, and stay abreast of industry standards and best practices.
Qualifications
- 4-6 years of related experience.
- Deep experience managing medical terminologies for various technology and data use cases across a wide variety of clinical contexts and relevant ontologies.
- Experience normalizing concepts across various disparate representations, and comfortable establishing, maintaining and communicating new concepts and value sets that meet analytic use cases over time.
- Capable and fluent in best-in-class informatics tooling, or have experience managing concepts without tooling.
- Build empathy for customer problems and seek to understand, question, and improve today’s solutions.
- Seek hard problems to solve and are comfortable with ambiguity.
- Pay strong attention to detail, communicate clearly and concisely, and have a bias towards action.
- Willingness to roll up sleeves and do the hard work to manage the necessary content.
- Eager to expand your scope of knowledge and understanding to new domains, such as those relevant to bringing innovative medical devices to market.
- Eager to learn new skills or improve the ones you have in areas such as writing SQL queries, using AI tooling, and working with Python notebooks.
- Must have an eligible work permit in the USA or Canada to be considered for this position.
