We help healthcare organizations build innovation capabilities and accelerate key growth initiatives, enabling organizations to own the future, instead of being disrupted by it. Together, we empower clients to create sustainable growth, optimize internal processes and deliver better consumer outcomes.

Health systems, hospitals and medical clinics are under immense pressure to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the cost of providing patient care. Investing in new partnerships, clinical services and technology is not enough to create meaningful and substantive change. To succeed long-term, healthcare organizations must empower leaders, clinicians, employees, affiliates and communities to build cultures that foster innovation to achieve the best outcomes for patients.

Joining the Huron team means you’ll help our clients evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing healthcare environment and optimize existing business operations, improve clinical outcomes, create a more consumer-centric healthcare experience, and drive physician, patient and employee engagement across the enterprise.

• Evaluate whether information should be included, transformed, filtered, or excluded from the migration. Consult with client stakeholders as needed for buy-in and approval from relevant working groups
• Develop and maintain lists of non-critical procedures to be filtered out of bulk migrations
• Make recommendations related to allergy update logic, transformation rules, and data inconsistencies
• Collaborate with clinical SMEs and program leaders on data scoping decisions
• Respond to inquiries from clinical staff regarding clinical data, terminology decisions, and mapping outcomes

• Participate in migration readiness meetings, clinical workgroups, and cross-functional discussions
