Analysts in the Service Line Strategy Advisor (SLSA) and Population Health Initiative (PHI) work in teams on custom research engagements to address key challenges or opportunities facing specific hospital members.

Recent engagements have focused on the following topics: evaluating market differentiation tactics for cardiac surgery, defining programmatic growth platforms for stroke care, crafting a strategic vision for a digestive health center, designing a framework to better conceptualize cancer care pathways, evaluating telehealth platforms and developing a strategy for integrated behavioral health. Analysts are actively involved throughout the engagement cycle—from conception, to research interviews, to analysis and creation of presentation materials. Working in teams provides analysts the opportunity to learn from peers and to take on more challenging responsibilities as they develop in their role.

This opportunity is based in Washington, D.C.
