The Role: 

Example Projects:

• Driving Clinical Outcomes and Savings. You will play a key role in optimizing the quality of care delivered to Included Health members and customers and minimizing the total cost of that care. You will develop new machine learning models to understand how care is delivered to patients, and help patients discover the providers and services that will deliver the best care for them. Data Science can be an important partner in helping the Care Team provide the best experience to members. Measurement across interactions can help to identify opportunities for efficiency improvements, inform product opportunities, and help drive high quality care. This role provides the opportunity to join an early stage research effort and be instrumental in setting the direction of future initiatives. 
• Modeling of Member Journey. As Included Health has expanded its product offerings, the Data Science team has access to a wealth of data about how people use these products. Modeling work in this area ranges from identifying members that are most in need of specific services to predicting the expected value of interactions with a member. Using these models and systems we can customize services to a member’s unique needs and optimize their path through the healthcare system in order to provide them better care. In this role you will develop creative solutions to drive personalization throughout the member experience and work cross-functionally with product, engineering, marketing and clinical teams.
