Job Description

General Purpose of the Job

The Epic Analyst II – Business Intelligence Developer (BID) is a data and analytics specialist responsible for delivering high-value insights, metrics, and data models within DaVita’s Epic ecosystem. Unlike a traditional application analyst, the BID’s primary outputs are quantitative models, regulatory metrics, and strategic insights rather than primarily focusing on front-end system configuration.

This role drives the analytics strategy for the Integrated Kidney Care (IKC) program, enabling clinical and operational leadership to monitor Value-Based Care (VBC) performance. The BID serves as the bridge between raw and business decisions, translating complex questions about population health, such as attribution logic, CKCC quality measures, and risk stratification, into trust, actionable intelligence.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

· Agile Data Delivery & Analytics Strategy: Partner with the Product Manager, Designers, and other stakeholders to validate data feasibility early in the design process. Ensure that proposed metrics have reliable data sources and that user stories meet the model before development begins.

· Metric Ownership & Definition: Own the strategic definition, validation, and governance of key performance indicators (KPIs). You are responsible for the logic behind the metric (e.g., "What defines a completed assessment?"), ensuring it aligns with regulatory standards and business goals before any build begins.

· System Design & Build: Configure and maintain Cogito analytics tools. While expertise in Reporting Workbench, Radar, and SlicerDicer is central to the role, the focus is on creating high-impact visualizations and data models rather than volume reporting.

· Data Storytelling & Synthesis: Go beyond "pulling data" to provide context. Synthesize complex datasets into clear narratives that explain trends, outliers, and performance drivers to non-technical executive stakeholders.

· Governance & Standards Authority: Enforce data governance standards across the organization. This includes acting as a gatekeeper for the Analytics Catalog, approving metric definitions, and escalating discrepancies to ensure a "Single Source of Truth."

· Population Health & Regulatory Accountability: Ensure the absolute accuracy of analytics tied to regulatory submissions (e.g., NCQA, CMS) and value-based contracts. Design content that tracks CKCC quality measures, risk scores, and care gap closures with audit-ready precision.

· Self-Service Analytics Governance: Empower the organization while maintaining control. Responsible for certifying shared metrics, designing user education strategies, and approving enterprise-level SlicerDicer models to ensure responsible self-service data consumption.

· Integration Logic & Validation: Partner with integration teams on external data sources (payer claims, HIE data). The BID is responsible for designing the data mapping logic and validating the clinical accuracy of ingested data, while the integration engineers manage the technical pipelines.

· Performance Optimization: Troubleshoot and resolve complex data failures, identifying root causes in SQL logic or underlying data models.
